Pentagon Study Details Johnson Offense Shift in 1965
The New York Times reports a Pentagon study found President Johnson in April 1965 ordered U S ground forces to take the offensive after a month of bombing North Vietnam failed to win. The decision, kept secret, moved U S forces from defense to offensive search and destroy missions as air power proved insufficient. By year end 1965 U S troops in South Vietnam rose from 27,000 to 184,314. Air strikes against North Vietnam began March 2, 1965, with initial optimism fading as Hanoi did not respond.
