I believe we unofficially had troops in Veitnam starting in 60-61, the real action didn't start until 65 though.

This is worth repeating !

& reinforcing !!


Fùck off Phil.

The fact is, JFK said we would never be in war in Vietnam. He died and LBJ opened the conflict up with US troops, while ladybirds family had extensive holdings in Brown&Root, Sea Container and Bell Helicopter. He became a taxpayer made billionaire.

On his deathbed, Robert McNamara admitted he and LBJ agreed the US would not win the Vietnam War. Clearing his soul before meeting his maker.
On Jackie's deathbed she told Caroline that LBJ was responsible for her dads death.

Bill Clinton sold our missile guidance tech to China and financed NKs nuclear weapons.

Zero financed and had ISIS formed and financed Irans nuclear weapons program and the POS worthless nuclear arms treaty that had no restriction on them producing ICBMs. When is their 10 year nuclear weapons restrictions over?

The Taliban has cut off the CIA cash cow that helped fund the deep state NWO cabal by ending poppy growing.

Putin has cut off the deep state NWO cabal by destroying the money laundering in the Nazi homeland of Ukraine.

9th Marine Expeditionary Brigade sent to guard the airbase in Da Nang

Hell, Military Assistance Command (Viet Nam) was created way before Johnson was President, in fact it was just shortly after the Kenndy/Johnson administration took office because troop levels were becoming to high. President Johnsons so called escalation was based on the lies of Westmorland, and in part later of the later Army chief of Staff Keith Johnson. All that is easy to dig up if wanted. But for all you that would rather believe all the far right conspiracy's and would rather overthrow our government, go for it!

Phil

So called......

Which way was it then dipshit?

Was it an escalation or wasn't it?

Yer gonna git yerself in trouble with the disinformation people Jag !

No wonder Pelosi and Schiff are over in Ukraine trying to start WWIII

NG units served and died in combat in Vietnam, too:

National Guard's Deadlest Days In Vietnam

FWIW.. my great uncle was an early special forces advisor training the S Vietnamese in '61 ..Home base for his unit was just across the border in Thailand however even then he mentioned Air America was heavily involved in clandestine air ops...

I bet he had some interesting stories. Those guys were a rare class of soldiers

The true numbers in country both CIA and SF in the 50's have never been released, but exceeded 15,000 before '60 and rapidly increased before '62 hence the formation of MACV, It had more than risen to just assistance well before Kenndy/Johnson Administration.

And hell talk about the number of kids and civilians killed in that air strike, look up the number of civilians and children killed in air strikes during the trump years after he deliberately eased restrictions..

Phil

Packing a single action, cross draw. Nice.

Would love to know if he used it in anger or was mostly "just in case"

What's your point? gooks and terrs are all in and for that matter so are democrats so there is that.

But since YOU made the statement regarding KIAs it is incumbent on YOU to substantiate the claim, unless of course you're a scumbag which we all know you are. And BTW, offensive air operations in SEA didn't start until WELL into democrat administrations, before that it was mostly all Black Ops.

Don't really know for sure if he ever used it however he served multiple deployments and was wounded in '63

I never saw him much after '65 but even then he sort of talked me into the AF and said close air support was really needed { visions of things to come maybe } ..little did I know then four years later I'd be flying CAS missions

The VMAG, were stationed in Takalei, Thailand, and operated in Laos, Cambodia, and both N.Vietnam and S. Vietnam, then know as French Indio China, The French were kicked out in 1958, a lot of people in that area spoke French. Rio7

There is some very interesting information re the war in Vietnam and the continuous role played by the CIA, by Frank Snepp, a CIA officer who was there for five years. It is Decent Interval. There are copies around cheaper than Amazon's price. I met Snepp years ago in Los Angeles. He was an interesting man.

As far as the genesis of our involvement, it goes clear back to Democrat Prez. Truman and his decision to refuse to help Ho Chi Minh who requested the U.S. help to unify Vietnam. Playing international politics, Truman sided with the French in keeping France's imperial interests there intact. Truman and his advisors wanted France in NATO, and supporting France's position in Vietnam was a condition. We all know what happened to the French in Vietnam. The various subsequent presidential decisions led us into "Vietnam."

I was already out of the Army when Vietnam blew wide open. When I lived in Los Angeles, I had a very good friend who was a former Navy SEAL who served there. He told me that it was fugged up from the git go. He died last year as a result of Agent Orange. The communists could not kill him but our Government and Monsanto did.

FWIW.
