President Johnson refused to order a full scale invasion of North Vietnam because, as a Senator during the early 1950's he remembered that Communist China entered the Korean War (1950-1953), on the side of North Korea because the US DID invade North Korea. President Johnson was determined that this would NOT happen with his war in Vietnam.

No US president wanted to repeat any mistakes.
