    Actually it was started by Eisenhower.

    Maj. Dale R. Buis and Master Sgt. Chester M. Ovnand become the first Americans killed in the American phase of the Vietnam War when guerrillas strike a Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) compound in Bien Hoa, 20 miles northeast of Saigon. The group had arrived in South Vietnam on November 1, 1955, to provide military assistance. The organization consisted of U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps personnel who provided advice and assistance to the Ministry of Defense, Joint General Staff, corps and division commanders, training centers, and province and district headquarters.

    Be that as it may, it was LBJ who ramped up the bombings and it was Nixon who ruined Johnson’s chances of getting a peace .

    It’s always funny to me that the people who claim to love America the most are the most ignorant of the actual hsitory.

    It’s even funnier when they try to cite history and fail.

      Actually it was started by Kennedy. Providing training and logistics isn’t the same as actively engaging in a war (or, in this case, “police action”). The US didn’t become a combatant until the Gulf of tonkin and that was all Kennedy.

      This is the only thing you said that isn’t nonsense

        The Gulf of Tonkin incident (Vietnamese: Sự kiện Vịnh Bắc Bộ) was an international confrontation that led to the United States engaging more directly in the Vietnam War. It consisted of a confrontation on August 2, 1964,

        On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, was assassinated while riding in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas

        Better check your pants, because if that’s your fact checking I’m not sure you have a wee-wee at all.

            Nixon started the GOP’s destruction of the middle class.

            If you improved your reading/thinking skills you might learn something.

            I never said Nixon started the Vietnam War. That mistake is 100% you not understanding how to read.
