Johnson gave permission to attack Vietnam forces in 1965. In the same year Saigon fell, which signaled the return of U.S. forces in 1975. U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war was 10 years 1965-75. The United States had soldiers in Vietnam from 1959 to 1973. The Paris Peace Accords were signed in February, 1973 among North Vietnam, South Vietnam and the United States. The U.S. had all of their troops out of Vietnam by April, 1973. The South Vietnamese government fell to the communist North in April, 1975. From 1959 to 1975 the war was fought, 16 years, making it the longest war in U.S. history. The war was a draw and the U.S. left after they failed to save Saigon.

What was the exact date of the start and end of the Vietnam War?
This question is indirectly related to the "Vietnam Syndrome" (a loss of self respect and with a defeatist attitude). The Vietnam War has NO exact starting and ending date. Which added to the confusion to the men fighting the war, which fuelled a defeatist attitude. President Eisenhower sent US advisers to Vietnam in 1955. President Kennedy sent US Special Forces (Green Beret) to Vietnam in 1961. President Johnson sent US Marines to Vietnam in 1965. That's for the starting date. President Nixon had the "Paris Peace Accord" signed in 1973 ending the war officially for the US (we still had covert operations going on). The communists conducted a full scaled military invasion in 1975, capturing the capital of South Vietnam, Saigon, in April 1975, the war was over. That's for the ending date.
