Thursday, April 29th, 2010Lyndon B. Jonhson's handling of Vietnam issue?
How did he handle this issue?
Thanks.
Johnson in 1964 began an escalation of direct US involvement in the war, introducing Plan 34A covert operations near North Vietnam's coast, air strikes by US fighter planes and bombers, increasing US ground forces to 500,000
U.S. and South Vietnamese naval forces initiate Operation Plan (Oplan) 34A, which calls for raids by South Vietnamese commandos, operating under American orders, against North Vietnamese coastal and island installations
