Some historians start the time when advisers and techicians made their presence known during the late 1950's, some begin when the Special Forces (Green Beret) arrived in the early 1960's, still other historians like to begin when President Johnson sent in regular combat troops in 1965. Where ever you chose to begin your date, it will have to end in 1975, when the North invaded and took over the South.
