1.) President Johnson’s policy dealing with slowly increasing American troops in hopes for minimal losses was unsuccessful because over in Vietnam, a lot of the war was being fought by guerilla forces, leading Americans to be clueless as to who they were fighting against. Small children had the ability and availability to weaponry to start shooting. It was very clear to the Vietnamese people who was an American and who was not. Therefore, members of Viet Cong may easily kill an American soldier.
Not only that, but the United States army had not experienced the proper training need to fight in Vietnam where the terrain was not good. While Johnson continued to send more soldiers over, many more were killed. The war continued on as soldiers continued dying.
