The Gulf of Tonkin was a false flag IMO.Who gives a f**k? It was a dumb war as all wars are. It was a war purposely designed to enriched the military industrial complex (aka 1%) and expand the size of government.A few months ago he posed for pics in front of large image of Che Chavera in communist Cuba. This time he disrespectfully slaps our Vietnam vets in the face and poses in ecstasy in front of communist leader Ho Chi Minh. Obama proves where his true loyalties reside, the ideology called communism.

Having lived through it......
The Vietnam war started because American president Eisenhower did not want communism to spread throughout the world and eventually to America.
The basic answer is that the U.S. was asked by France, via NATO, to keep the communists from "taking over" the French Territory. We sent troops over only to advise, and from there WE were in it and it just went "to hell in a handbasket" to quote a friend of mine. We left over 58,000 Brothers and Sisters there.
The Gulf of Tonkin Incident, also known as the USS Maddox Incident, is the name given to two separate confrontations involving North Vietnam and the United States in the waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. These two incidents were considered the influential starting point of actual military action by the US against the forces of North Vietnam.
On August 2, 1964, the destroyer USS Maddox, while performing a signals intelligence patrol as part of DESOTO operations, engaged three North Vietnamese Navy torpedo boats of the 135th Torpedo Squadron. A sea battle resulted, in which the Maddox expended over two hundred and eighty 3-inch and 5-inch shells, and in which four USN F-8 Crusader jet fighter bombers strafed the torpedo boats. One US aircraft was damaged, one 14.5 mm round hit the destroyer, three North Vietnamese torpedo boats were damaged, four North Vietnamese sailors were killed and six were wounded; there were no U.S. casualties.

We mended fences with Vietnam long before Obama showed up. I suppose you think history began with Obama's presidency.
And what did ydid the U.S. get for allowing Vietnam to now get ALL THE armaments it wants?..... a 70+ year old Catholic priest allowed to get out of jail after a decade or more of captivity?.....You'd think the NEW Pope would have done something or said something about it to draw attention....After all, he is a fellow Socialist!
Pearl Harbor was a false flag set up by the dickhead FDR.
Nah, not on everything. You know what I will report you on. Any decent person would do that.
