1. The method of step by step increase of the American troops didn't keep the deaths at a minimum, and wasn't sucessful because of the way people were fighting. There was a lot of guerilla warfare going on and the Americans were in the jungle and weren't used to that kind of fighting. There was the Viet Cong that we were always looking for and there was the North Vietnamese army. I don't see how there could ever be a minimum loss of life when people were ordering soldiers to just go into villages and kill everyone they saw. It didn't matter how many soldiers were sent into Vietnam because we didn't know exactly who we were fighting. People that the Americans would never expect would turn around and shoot them.
