QUESTION 1:
By confining the amount of troops sent to Vietnam, Johnson had the right idea. He was striving for a minimum loss of both US and Vietnamese troops. Soldiers died and the supply of soldiers only filled in that gap not making the U.S. a force to be reckoned with but making them weak. It is an inverse relationship, the more troops the faster the war is over, the less troops the longer the war takes. Also having such a "fine-tuned, step-by step increase in American force" leads to a more united and therefore more personal army. It made the American division of S. Vietnam's power like a big family and that made deaths more personal.
