William Westmoreland was the General who commanded American forces from 1964 to 1968. He was a decorated veteran of 3 wars (WW2, Korea, and Vietnam), and commanded US forces during the height of the Vietnam conflict.

In 1968, Time Magazine mentioned General Westmoreland as a possible Republican nominee for the Presidential election. And Westmoreland ventured into politics with an unsuccessful run for Governor of South Carolina in 1974, which makes me think he has something in him to legitimize the idea of him entering the political world.

So how could Westmoreland become President and what would be the result of such an administration?
