1. Johnson's "step by step" tactic in Vietnam was largely unsuccessful because we had never fought in such unique conditions as in Vietnam. Were we had in previous wars fought in cities or on flat land, the Vietnam jungle was a bane on even the most strategic and "fine tuned" plans. The enemy that we were facing was also unlike never before. They were guerrillas who had lived and trained in the jungle (no pun intended), and their methods were arbitrary and unpredictable. Johnson was probably just trying to keep America's hopes up when he said this because we could not easily win the war in Vietnam under any circumstances except a nuclear bomb.
