There were several turning points of the Viet War:
1. JFK introduced the SEALS and Green Beret in larger numbers in 1961/62.
2. The North Viet Navy engaged the US Navy in the Tonkin Gulf which commenced open war between North Vietnam and the US in 1964.
3. The battle of Ia Drang in 1965 was the first open major clash between units of the US Army and the North Viet Army (NVA).
4. The Tet Offensive of 1968 ruined the war in the eyes of the American public.
5. The invasion (incursion) of Cambodia in '70 set the stage for US withdrawal.
6. The invasion of Laos in '71 put doubt in the allied high command on whether or not the RVN could hold their own if the US withdrew.
7. Operation Linebacker/Linebacker II nearly put Hanoi on their knees (and the SAC B52 force), which paved the way for bringing Hanoi back to the negotiation table to allow US forces to withdraw.
