Operation Lam Son 719 was completed on March 6, 1971. This military operation was conducted by South Vietnamese forces, with support from the United States, aimed at disrupting North Vietnamese supply lines along the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos. The operation faced significant challenges and ultimately did not achieve its objectives, resulting in heavy casualties.

What are the same about the six-day war and the Vietnam war?

You can't compare a 6 day war to a 10 year war; that's akin to comparing a 6 day marriage to a 10 year marriage... The 1967 Six Day War was a mechanized campaign which would most nearly compare to the Vietnam War's Lam Son 719 operation in 1971 (invasion of Laos) or the NVA's Easter Offensive which occurred in 1972. Both the Lam Son & Easter Offensive were heavily mechanized campaigns, with the Lam Son action being the first time that ARVN & NVA tanks engaged each other. For further information, read: "Into Laos" (Operation Lam Son 719, Vietnam 1971) by K.W. Nolan, Presidio Press 1986.

What was the law restricting the president's ability to send troops into combat during Vietnam War?

There were no restrictions. Restrictions came after Nixon's Cambodian invasion (termed incursion to avoid political pressure) in May 1970. The result of which was no US troops into Laos during Operation Lam Son 719 in 1971; which resulted in an allied near disaster.


What were the battles involved in the Vietnam War and who won them?

Officially, the US has won all of the major battles; historians can and will almost always argue with those "official" victories: Dak To, Lang Vei, Khe Sahn, Hue, Hamburger Hill, the A Shau Valley, Ia Drang, to name a few. Most of the battles will come under the heading of operations, such as Operation Pershing, Operation Apache Snow, Operaton Cedar Falls, Operation Lam Son 719, etc.
