Faced with the threat of more and more communist revolutions in Asia, President John F. Kennedy decided that instead of immediately unleashing the barrage of American nuclear forces on every little skirmish, the war would be fought according to scale. Flexible response called for a counter to Soviet attacks and not a first strike. It had three stages containing direct response, deliberate escalation, and finally general nuclear response.
Kennedy implemented this during the Laotian civil war, in which communists teemed about ready to take hold of the nation. Instead of unleashing the Eisenhower method of massive retaliation, he created the super-trained division of the American military--the Green Berets. They would be responsible for fighting in guerilla warfare instead of wastefully dumping nuclear bombs on the tiny country.
