In response to these reported incidents, President Lyndon B. Johnson requested permission from the U.S. Congress to increase the U.S. military presence in Indochina.

How did it expand Presidential Power DawsonHarris https://padlet.com/DawsonHarris/obmmzgyk810u/wish/94883974  The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution when passed by the Congress allowed the president, LBJ/Johnson, to commit American military forces as he saw fit at whatever level he saw fit to combat the Communist insurgency in Vietnam. The resolution gave the president the legal authority, or cover, to act. This act increased the president's war making powers and limited for a time the ability of Congress to force the president to allow Congressional oversight, investigation, on 
how well the president has carried out his policy. This was countered by the passing " The War Powers Act of 1973" which limits the president's war making powers. This act has never been tested in court so we do not know if it is Constitutional. ]]> 2016-02-12 16:42:02 UTC https://padlet.com/DawsonHarris/obmmzgyk810u/wish/94883974 What was the Hawks approach to Vietnam? DawsonHarris https://padlet.com/DawsonHarris/obmmzgyk810u/wish/94884584 THE Vietnam War unsettled a lot, not least the relationship that normally exists between orthodoxy and revisionism in historical writing. It's usually the case that the former precedes the latter: the first historians to write about great events generally accept official explanations for them. Only with the passage of time and the opening of archives does skepticism tend to emerge. For Vietnam, though, the sequence reversed itself. With dissent mounting to unprecedented levels during that conflict, and with the Pentagon Papers having produced a flood of documents prior to its conclusion, few if any scholars were prepared to accept the justifications that the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations had provided. Few have done so even now, three decades later. Revisionism did not just precede orthodoxy with respect to Vietnam: for historians, it has always been the orthodox view of the war.]]> 2016-02-12 16:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/DawsonHarris/obmmzgyk810u/wish/94884584 What was the Doves approach to Vietnam? DawsonHarris https://padlet.com/DawsonHarris/obmmzgyk810u/wish/94884884 The war divided the country into two different sections. The sections were the people who wanted war and the ones who didn't. hawks thought that the United States should do what ever is necessary to win. Doves think that the problem in Vietnam is a civil war. They thought that the United States had no right to be in their conflicts.]]> 2016-02-12 16:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/DawsonHarris/obmmzgyk810u/wish/94884884 North: (and who supported each,nicknames for each side.)

DawsonHarris https://padlet.com/DawsonHarris/obmmzgyk810u/wish/94888988 Military theorists and strategists like Sun Tzu have viewed attrition warfare as something to be avoided. In the sense that attrition warfare represents an attempt to grind down an opponent through superior numbers, it represents the opposite of the usual principles of war in which one attempts to achieve decisive victories by using minimal necessary resources and in minimal amount of time, through maneuver, concentration of force, surprise, and the like.
On the other hand, a side that perceives itself to be at a marked disadvantage in maneuver warfare or unit tactics may deliberately seek out attrition warfare to neutralize its opponent's advantages. If the sides are nearly evenly matched, the outcome of a war of attrition is likely to be a Pyrrhic victory.]]> 2016-02-12 16:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/DawsonHarris/obmmzgyk810u/wish/94888988 How did the people of South Vietnam react to the war and U.S. intervention DawsonHarris https://padlet.com/DawsonHarris/obmmzgyk810u/wish/94890478 they reacted in protest and rioting against the united states for helping in a war that we lose anyway ]]> 2016-02-12 17:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/DawsonHarris/obmmzgyk810u/wish/94890478 Nixon uses a Carrot and Stick approach to the end the war.

As Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara noted, "the dangerous illusion of victory by the United States was therefore dead."]]> 2016-02-12 17:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/DawsonHarris/obmmzgyk810u/wish/94892593 Presidents  DawsonHarris https://padlet.com/DawsonHarris/obmmzgyk810u/wish/95646732 2016-02-17 18:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/DawsonHarris/obmmzgyk810u/wish/95646732
