I agree with Maria that President Johnson's policy was unsuccessful because of the unfamiliarity with the terrain and the opponent's tactics. The dense jungle and guerilla warfare made it near impossible for the US to come out on top. However, not knowing who the enemy was also contributed to the US's loss. Since any common person walking around could have a weapon, the American soldiers were easily attacked.
