Additional forces were called for but was the story throughout the war until its end in 1975. the official death toll was 58,000 Americans K.I.A.,M.I.A, and P.O.W.

Answer 2

Type Vietnam war into your browser then go to the History-Vietnam War site.
We were in Vietnam from 1945 to 1975. 1965 was when the first troops were sent in to actually fight the north/cong. I was in theater in 1961 & 62. The cause of what eventually occurred was LBJ wanting to run the war from the white house. Even the daily missions. Can't wage and win a war that way. Led to many young men loosing their lives for naught. Had occurred in Korea and now appears to be occurring again in Iraq.
