Many people (watching the news) were curious to see what LBJ was going to do about it. Because he did state, "...I'll not have any Den Ben Foos!" (Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954 which resulted in a French defeat; and the end of the French Indochina War). What he did do about it, was send a US Army detachment directly from the US into the besieged zone, and ordered all out B52 strikes upon the place. It was the B52 Stratofortress's which saved Khe Sahn; and saved LBJ.
