- The plan was to train, equip and expand South Vietnamese forces so that they could take over more military responsibilities for their own defense against the North communists, and at the same time, allowed the U.S. to gradually withdraw its combat troops from South Vietnam.

He photocopied the report and in March 1971 gave the copy to The New York Times.Some of the most damning information in the Pentagon Papers indicate that the administration of John F. Kennedy had actively helped overthrow and assassinate South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963. ]]> 2018-04-06 18:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/2027568/hmq5y3ebtyr3/wish/249336283 Gulf of Tonkin Resolution 20060831 https://padlet.com/2027568/hmq5y3ebtyr3/wish/249336534 The two destroyers were there on a reconnaissance mission, to gather information for the South about the North.  LBJ not telling the full truth about the “attacks” may have been the start of a faction of the American public’s growing distrust of the government during the war.

Some people have accused FDR of having prior knowledge about Pearl Harbor, and GW Bush about having info about terrorists attempting to hijack planes in the weeks before 9/11--the difference is that those are rumors, and LBJ’s withholding of info is true.  It seems like an assault has to take place before war can be declared.

The offensive was an attempt to foment rebellion among the South Vietnamese population and encourage the United States to scale back its involvement in the Vietnam War.
