Why has the Vietnam War sometimes been referred to as the Ten Thousand Day War?

This has been called the Ten Thousand Day war because it was the longest war fought in American history and it lasted 10,000 days Not true, with a little simple math, one can see that that would be 27 years and some months. Other information on this web page shows that the war started in the early 1950's. Even if you used a start date of 1950, you would not arrive at 10,000 days by the end of the war in 1975. In order for the war to have lasted 27.4 years, it would have to have started in 1947 or 1948. I believe this phrase has been used to describe the length of the armed struggle in Vietnam between communist/nationlists and western powers. I.e., from the start of the "First Indochina War" between France and communist rebels in 1946, until the end of the "Second Indochina War" (ie, the Vietnam War to Americans) in 1973. ok the second answer is technically wrong because different websites say that the war started on a different date. So there fore math cant sovle exactly how long the war was
