1. There were many reasons as to why President Johnson's policy was unsuccessful in the Vietnam War. There was no way as to keeping the war “with a minimum loss of life on both sides” anywhere remotely possible. I mean the Vietnam War was like no other. The terrain was different as the U.S. had not been involved in forest fighting before. The NVA and the Viet Cong also used guerilla tactics and other surprise tactics that the U.S. was not ready for. Also, the Viet Cong and the NVA also had better suited weapons for the jungle war instead of the U.S. The U.S. also did not know who to fight and kill and who to be friendly with as young , women, and old civilians would greet them one day and then try and kill them the next day. Plus with the war lasting for basically forever, the amount of deaths and the attitude towards the war got worse and worse by the day.
