...Finally, Military involvements in wars demonstrate how America cared much more for their influences and motives than being passive. General Westmoreland’s involvement in Vietnam war and his military strategy is a great example, as well as the Tet Offensive event that partook in the war. Once more going back to the Vietnam War, General Westmoreland partook an important role. He was the permanent commander of MACV and given command of all US forces in Vietnam. General Westmoreland perceived the escalation of the conflict and had “535,000 troops under his control when he departed in 1968” (Hickman 1). He was a terror, and to no surprise portrayed by their own media as a hero. Even named “man of the year” by Times magazine at one point. Military Expert, Kennedy Hickman...

...Vietnam was tangled in a decades-long civil war, and the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was the start of the United States formal involvement in the Vietnam War, with the stated goal of stopping the spread of communism in the region. It passed commonly in the U.S. House of Representatives, and with only two conflicting votes in the U.S. Senate. Tet Offensive: The Tet Offensive was a harmonize series of North Vietnamese attacks on more than 100 cities and frontier in South Vietnam. What was annoying was the bid to agitate rebellion against the South Vietnamese culture and boost the United States to scale back its involvement in the Vietnam War. Even though heavy casualties, North Vietnam accomplished a critical victory with the Tet Offensive, as the attacks marked a turning point in the Vietnam War and the beginning of the slow, painful American withdrawal from the...

...of Asia would follow. This was known as the Domino Theory. In order to help stop the spread of communism, the U.S. fought alongside South Vietnam. Nonetheless, after a long, costly war, the U.S. had lost the Vietnam war, which would not stop South Vietnam fall to communism. The United States had entered the Vietnam War after the Gulf of Tonkin incident, where North Vietnamese had fired upon U.S. Navy destroyers in 1964. This incident had compelled Congress to take action. Thus, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was made, which gave President Johnson permission to take all necessary actions. The...

...Conflict in Vietnam, 1963-75 Revision Notes Part 1; Reasons for the US involvement in Vietnam What was the background to the Vietnam War? • Vietnam was ruled by the French till 1954. Then it was divided into two countries. • The communist ruler of North Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh, wanted to unite the North and South under his control. He supported the Vietcong in South Vietnam. • President Diem ruled South Vietnam. He was strongly anti-communist, but was also a brutal and unpopular leader. Who were the Vietcong? • The Vietcong (or the National Liberation Front) were the communist guerrilla soldiers fighting to overthrow President Diem and his government. • By 1964, there were over 100,000 Vietcong in the South and they were killing thousands of South Vietnamese officials every year. Diem's army could not get rid of them. Why did the Americans get involved? • America said it wanted to ‘save’ the South Vietnamese people from the evils of communism. • But, remember that this was the time of the Cold War. Americans were obsessed with stopping Communism, both abroad and at home in the USA. • The Americans wanted to "contain" (stop) the spread of Communism in the world (the Truman Doctrine). The USA wanted to support non-Communist governments which were threatened by Communists. It knew that the USSR and China, both Communist-ruled, were sending aid to Communist North Vietnam. • The Americans also believed...

...The North Vietnamese Communist leadership's ability to reassess and adapt during the Vietnam War was reflected in how well they combined guerilla and conventional operations to achieve their strategic goal of unifying Vietnam under communist rule. Throughout the conflict, the Viet Cong (VC) were employed to conduct guerilla operations while North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and VC "main force" units were used to transition to conventional operations. Guerilla operations enabled Hanoi to inflict a steady flow of casualties on US forces which increased anti-war sentiment in America. NVA and VC main force conventional operations reinforced the US Army's conventional approach to the fight which caused the Americans to alienate the people of South Vietnam. By alienating the South Vietnamese people, the Americans enhanced the VC's ability to conduct guerilla operations and control rural population centers which weakened the credibility of the Government of South Vietnam (GVN). The combined effects of guerilla and conventional operations supported the North Vietnamese strategy of a protracted conflict that was sure to weaken the resolve of the United States and eventually defeat the GVN. The relationship between conventional and guerilla operations was a key element of the Vietnamese communists’ “Dau Tranh” strategy to fight and win the Vietnam War. A brief description of the Dua Tranh (meaning struggle) strategy is appropriate since it was the basis for North Vietnam’s success. The strategy...

...first domino falls, the rest follow. The Domino Theory is the central reason for America’s involvement in Vietnam. 1954-1964: U.S. involvement in Vietnam continued to increase. Eisenhower sends military advisors to South Vietnam to train South Vietnamese Army. 1964: August: North Vietnam attacked the USS Maddox in international waters. Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution that allowed President Johnson to increase America’s military involvement. It allowed him to "take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack...and to prevent further aggression." 1965: Pleiku Raid: Viet Cong attacked a Marine barracks killing eight and injuring over a hundred. Johnson, used the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution to order the air force and navy forward in Operation Rolling Thunder which bombed Viet Cong. Johnson hoped this would show U.S. superiority and make the Viet Cong stop, but it just escalated the war. 1968: More than 500,000 troops committed to fighting in Vietnam. January 31, the holiday of Tet, North Vietnam and Viet Cong attacked South...

...The Vietnam War was the longest lasting military conflict in American History. What was originally fear of communist expansion became one of America’s most expensive and strenuous efforts, consuming over fifty eight thousand American lives. As casualties increased throughout the 1960’s, so did the domestic opposition to the war. In turn, large-scale protests and a lack of trust between government and its people rose. Today many of the war’s details remain unclear; however, Hollywood has had its hand at depicting what occurred. This paper provides an analysis of the Vietnam War, as well as its depiction in the 21st century film industry. “The Deer Hunter,” “Born on the 4th of July” and “Casualties of War” are three different interpretations of the war in both foreign and domestic settings. Each film offers a different point of view, varying from social, political, and military perspectives. Following the Second World War, the French set forth an effort to regain their former colonial possession of Indo-China, which had been occupied by the Japanese throughout the war. After nearly a decade, the French were unable to establish a presence in what they called their “inheritance”, and as a result withdrew under the Geneva Accord in 1954. Meanwhile conflict within the regions of Vietnam created instability. A communist regime called the Peoples Army of Vietnam (PAVN), headed by Ho Chi Minh obtained power of the North. In contrast Ngo Dinh Diem established an interim government that...

...Unwinnable war II The unwinnable war speech is a speech that is written and spoken by Robert F. Kennedy, which will say, that he is the sender of this text. The speech was hold under the circumstances of the Vietnam War. At the time the speech was hold, USA was loosing in Vietnam and Robert F. Kennedy was presidential candidate. Which will say that he by some knew about the war and its consequences. The speech is turned against the explicit audience of the USA population, who assumed that the US was winning the war in Vietnam. He is using rhetorical devises as logos and Ethos, he is well formulated and trying to make his points as clear as possible and do it with a passion about the topic. He uses logos when he want’s to make a point clear to his audience: ‘’Imagine the impact in our own country if an equivalent number—over 25 million Americans—were wandering homeless or interned in refugee camps, and millions more refugees were being created as New York and Chicago, Washington and Boston, were being destroyed by a war raging in their streets.’’ (l. 58-61, p. 3) So as we can se in this example, he both use some sort of figurative language because he compares the Vietnam situation in a American perspective and while he do that, he is emphasizing he’s argument by putting numbers to the bigger picture and appealing to people with logos. He does also uses pathos in a smaller degree as here, when he both appealing with logos and pathos at the same time: ‘‘you cannot expect...

...Congress indicates success. He stated that in any situation he intended to accurately brief and inform Congress. His goal was to “secure cooperation” from those working within the government so that he could easily implement policy. In early 1965, Johnson’s escalation of the war in Vietnam began. He stated that while he knew that becoming more involved in the war might risk his Great Society, nothing would be as devastating as letting Americans in South Vietnam lose a war to communism. Johnson’s fear of the spread of communism began guiding his policy at this time, and much of his energy switched from creating a better American to winning in Vietnam. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in 1964 gave Johnson the power to “take any measures necessary” to promote peace in South Vietnam. To Johnson, this meant regularly bombing North Vietnam and committing thousands of troops to the South in combat roles. Johnson began acting without consent from Congress, which weakened his professional reputation. Johnson made the decision to escalate an unofficial war in Vietnam without approval from Congress or approval from those within the government. He rarely consulted Congress before making decisions, and started telling rather than persuading Congress that his actions were beneficial. Records of Johnson’s meetings with Congress indicate that he did not accurately present his policy regarding Vietnam but instead tried to convince them that they had been properly informed. Johnson struggled...

...He was not the only American political figure who felt entry into the war had been a mistake. George McGovern was a very strong advocate against the Vietnam War throughout his years as Senator, and later in his race against Nixon for the presidency. Inone of his later speeches denouncing the current state of America’s involvement inVietnam, McGovern proposed to “spend all that is necessary for prudent nationaldefense, and no more… [to] conserve our limited resources” (Doc H). He was amongmany who, at that point in the war, recited an all too familiar rhetoric: it was a mistakefor the US to have gotten involved in Vietnam in the first place; however, we’re therenow so we need to either win or get out. McGovern asserted that the military was wastingmoney and manpower, and they needed to rethink their efficiency, size, and weaponstrategies. Money and the economy played a huge role in all of McGovern’s wartimeopposition speeches, especially following the era of the New Deal.The 1960s quickly became a decade associated with hippies, young protesters,and the famous slogan “make love, not war.” Many songs emerged from these younggroups...
