1) President Johnson's Vietnam policy was unsuccessful for many reasons. A major reason was that this was a war unlike any other. Due to the extremely dense jungle, unarmored helicopters, and unfamiliar enemy there was no way to prevent a major loss of life on either side. The United States was not familiar with fighting in a forest and was also unfamiliar with the guerilla tactics that the Viet Cong and NVA planned to us. The United States was a makor disadvantage with being unfamilar to the strategies of the enemy. PResident Johnson's plan of a fine tuned defeat with minimum death from both sides was not realistic because he with the US did not know the tactics of the enemy.
