There was an apparent attack on US ships by the North Vietnamese Navy in the Gulf of Tonkin in July, 1964. LBJ pushed for a US military response against the North. On August 7, Congress authorized the President to commit US aircraft and ground troops to the war, which still consisted mainly of the guerrilla war in the South.
