Best Answer

Various reasons. If you go by American involvement in Vietnam, the dates will be different than the entire war itself. There was also a matter of secrecy as to just how long the US had been involved in Vietnam. For example, the first Special Forces soldier to die in Vietnam (Captain Harry Cramer, 1SFG) was killed in October of 1957, and his name was left off of the Vietnam Wall when it was unveiled in 1982, because the US government did not want to make it publicly known just how early on they had been involved in Vietnam.
