What happened in 1964 that pushed the US further into Vietnam?

Answer 1

The US was extremely cautious about using it's military again, after Vietnam. For example, the very first use of US Military forces after Vietnam was "Operation Urgent Fury", the US invasion of Grenada in 1983. The US was so cautious, that President Reagan ordered NO PRESS (and yes the press was angry about it when the op was all over with). When it was successfully concluded, then everyone heard about.

After this success, the US got bolder and commenced Operation Just Cause, the invasion of Panama in 1989. Again success.

The third one was the charm...and the boldest of all, Operation Desert Storm in 1991...the US was back on the band wagon!
