Every teacher, professor, agency, instructor, school board, student, writer, author, and historian makes their own rules.
1. Some start the war in 1955 when Eisenhower first sent US military forces to South Vietnam.
2. Some like to start the war in 1959 when the VC (Viet Cong) were organized.
3. Some like to start the war in 1961 when Kennedy expanded US military presence.
4. Some like to start the war in 1964 when NVN torpedo boats attacked the USN.
5. Some like to start the war in 1965 when LBJ sent conventional forces to RVN.
All of the above dates have been used by people, at one time or another. In fact one writer used the year of 1966; must have been when "his" unit arrived in country, and that was the only date that mattered! Or...it could've been a typo.

Where were American gi imprisoned by Americans in Vietnam?
US POWs (Prisoners of War) consisted primarily of US Airmen, aviators belonging to the USAF and USN air units. The bulk of these airmen had been shot down over North Vietnam during the air war (over the north). Since these airmen had been downed over the north, and since the targets were in the north, the POWs were held in the North (Vietnam)...scattered through out the nation. Any enemy POW camps in South Vietnam would not have been secure, and would have ultimately been raided by the alllies.
