Gulf of Tonkin.
Ever actually researched what actually happened without going to one of the it was a lie conspiracy sites or one of those to debunk them?
The govt ineptitude is astounding if what I found is true and my experience with the govt leads me to believe it to be so.
What I found leads me to believe that there was an attack on Aug 2nd. As I recall there were two ships, the Maddox and another I forget the name of. On Aug 2nd Captain of the Maddox reports the incident.. Captain of second ship knowing this didn't bother to report it as it was already reported and the Captain of the Maddox was leading the expedition so one report was good enough to suit him. Crew of the Maddox or maybe it was just the captain was awarded some sort of medal for the incident.. Captain/crew of second ship were not.. so good Captain reports the attack of August 2nd on August 4th.. there was no attack on Augusts 4th but typical govt snafu results in this being reported as separate attack. Took me some time to find that info and I haven't been able to find it again recently.
