When did US involvement in the Vietnam war start?
"Expansion" was like "incident"...both designed to "down-play" something. During the cold that was SOP (Standard Operating Procedures)...anything to avoid a nuclear war. What happened was the "Tonkin Gulf INCIDENT"...downplayed. The 02 August 1964 "incident" was actually a naval battle between the North Vietnamese Navy's 135th Torpedo Boat Squadron and the USS Maddox (destroyer, Sumner class). The 04 incident was a "Tonkin Ghost" (radar false images). Either way it all resulted in direct warfare between the United States and North Vietnam. Prior to the "Tonkin Gulf" incident(s), the war was strictly fought in South Vietnam against the local VC. Afterwards, the bombing of North Vietnam commenced with "Rolling Thunder." Etc.
