the vietnam war started following the gulf of tonkin incident even the name it's a lie the gulf of tonkin incident is actually two incidents that were actually one incident which is actually only a half an incident. on august second one hundred sixty board the u.s.s. maddox exchanged gunfire with three north vietnamese torpedo boats the us claimed the vietnamese fired first but in fact the u.s.s. maddox fired the first shots then two days later to us you have spent four hours firing on various radar targets that were attacking them they sunk to torpedo boats which may not you know which movie sounds like a win right they sunk two boats but you have to take into account that those torpedo boats did not adhere to the traditional definition of existing. so it's actually surprising the u.s. navy didn't sink far more than just two imaginary boats why not report you saying billions of boat. that's right the u.s. military spent four hours shooting at rain clouds in the gulf of tonkin following that confrontation defense secretary mcnamara and vice president johnson to retaliate and the president

which people made a lot of, my sense looking back at wasn't all that important which is a gulf of tonkin resolution in 1964 to get a blank check for future american escalation in vietnam. and the other two things by the way, we should not forget is in '64 and '65, i would submit lyndon johnson had his eye on one ball which was bringing to an end jim crow segregation in the united states of america. we need to remember it was lyndon johnson in '64 who on his own, i think within a week after assassination of president kennedy saying we are going to move the civil rights act. and he gets it done. and in '65, the protest at selma. i was at the end of the march from selma. again, lyndon johnson with the help of the midwestern republicans. couldn't have done it without dirkson. they pass the voting right to end segregation. and then he's got this thing going in vietnam. he also has the great society he wants to build up. so in early '65, hanoi escalates again. hanoi begins to send out north vietnamese regiments. not vietcong village guerrillas. coming down to attack forces and destroy them. by
