That war cost 58 thousand US lives and hundreds of thousands of
Vietnamese lives. That war too was based on lies from Washington..


=============================================
But not until 1965, after Congress had approved the Gulf of Tonkin
Resolution, did Washington begin its massive escalation of the war
effort. With a huge influx of soldiers, casualties in Vietnam soared to
1,926 in 1965 and peaked at 16,869 in 1968, the year of the Tet
Offensive, data show.

In a major revision of U.S. military history in 1995, former Defense
Secretary Robert McNamara said he believed the Gulf of Tonkin torpedo
attack never occurred.

More than 58,000 U.S. military personnel died in Vietnam before the war
ended in the mid-1970s.
