1. US Military men had never been defeated by another nation, they had just won WWII. These same men would lead the US in Vietnam.
2. The US/UN had successfully stopped communist aggression in Korea (1950-1953); success breeds success...the US will stop the communists again in Vietnam.
3. The US "BELIEVED" in firepower...for winning wars; the US had more firepower than any nation on earth. The US would use it. If the enemy escalated...so would the US; and the US would win...thru FIREPOWER!
