Today, it is used more generally to describe almost any "gap" between the reality of a situation and what politicians and government agencies say about it. "Credibility gap" was originally used in association with the Vietnam War in the New York Herald Tribune in March 1965, to describe then-president Lyndon Johnson's handling of the escalation of American involvement in the war. A number of events—particularly the surprise Tet Offensive, and later the 1971 release of the Pentagon Papers—helped to confirm public suspicion that there was a significant "gap" between the administration's declarations of controlled military and political resolution, and the reality.

What was the agreement between the government and citizens on the social contract?
The social contract is an implicit agreement between the government and its citizens, wherein individuals consent to surrender some personal freedoms in exchange for the protection of their rights and maintenance of social order. In this framework, the government is expected to act in the best interest of its citizens, providing security and public services, while citizens are expected to obey laws and contribute to society. If the government fails in its duties or violates citizens' rights, the social contract implies that the citizens have the right to challenge or change their government. This concept underlies many democratic theories and practices.
