I participated in Operation Sea Dragon during the Vietnam War. It involved the use of naval patrols and gunfire to destroy both land targets (bridges, trails, camps, etc.) and shoreline traffic (gunboats and supply barges). The gunfire was provided from a battleship (USS New Jersey in 1968), 6" and 8" cruisers, destroyers and gunboats. The operation, like the bombing campaign (Rolling Thunder) could have been a complete success had it not been for the cowardly intervention by the administration and the congress.
1. Operation Urgent Fury (Grenada 1983) was the first US military campaign after the Vietnam War. 2. Operation Just Cause (Panama 1989) was the second one. 3. Operation Desert Storm (January & February 1991) was the third one. 4. Operation Restore Hope (1992/1993 Somalia) was the fourth one. 5. Operation Enduring Freedom (2001 Afghanistan) was the fifth one. 6. Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003 Iraq) was the sixth one.
No, they were "police actions".
Korea was 5 yrs after WWII; but the concern was WWIII. Vietnam was some yrs after Korea; but a repeat of Korea was to be avoided. After Vietnam, the issue, for the US, was redeeming prestige; which was accomplished with Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
The Vietnam War was much more signifcant for the U.S than the Korean War becuase History made an informative series for Vietnam, "Vietnam in HD". The Korean War didn't have as much gore or communist involvment to really make T.V material.
The Korean War was followed by the Vietnam War.
President Reagan during the Iraq-Iran Persian Gulf War; Truman for the Korean War; Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford for Vietnam.
Note: Korean War ERA is different than Korean War; Vietnam ERA is different than Vietnam War. You will see figures stating that 6 million (or more) US Military personnel served in Korea and 7 million men (or more) served in Vietnam; those figures are for the "Era" (the time period), not the actual war! 1. Less than 1 million US military servicemen fought in the Korean War. 2. 2,594,000 US military servicemen fought in the Vietnam War (served in country). 3,403,100 US servicemen served in South Vietnam and SEA (Southeast Asia; Thailand, etc.) total. 3. US forces served in all Persian Gulf conflicts after Vietnam, and suffered casualties in all of them; which one are you referring to?: A. Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988 B. Operation Desert Storm Jan/Feb 1991 C. Operation Iraqi Freedom 2003
