As it turns out we were involved in Viet Nam much sooner than many thought.
President Eisenhower was the first to put our military personnel in Viet Nam in the late nineteen fifties. We were there until Nixon finally called it quits in the early nineteen seventies.
Many believe that we were drawn into the Viet Nam conflict because of an attack by North Viet Nam on a US American ship in the Gulf of Tonken when John Kennedy was President.
This attack did not occur according to a later confession by General Westmorland however it was considered necessary to lead the US American public to believe we needed to enter that conflict.
