New event
LBJ sends 180,000 American troops
Peaks at 540,000 three years later
McNamara- "we seek an independent, non-communist South" "Unless we can achieve this objective in South Vietnam, almost all of South East Asia will probably fall under Communist domination"
US State Department- "South Vietnam is fighting for its life against a brutal campaign of terror...directed by the Communist regime"
Arrival of US forces prevents collapse of South Vietnam, strengthens position of SV General Thieu
More bombs were dropped on Vietnam than Germany in WW2
Often criticised by American people
US tactics did not suit Vietnam, Communists did not fight set battles. Guerilla warfare.
So US massive airpower to bomb supply lines. Chemical defoliants
These strategies do not work. They just angered locals, raised support for Ho Chi Minh
