As with many reenactorments, some of the facts go by the wayside. In reality, the first skirmish lasted 20 minutes. There were no American casualties. And only a single bullet hole was found in the USS Maddox. One North Vietnamese PT boat was sunk. At the very least, the two others were badly damaged. A US Navy crew member said it was like swatting mosquitoes. As for the second torpedo attack, there is doubt about whether it ever took place. Later on, when all the facts were in, The U.S. Commanders involved in the incident... Admitted they never actually saw any North Vietnamese PT boats the night of August 4th. So where did the torpedoes come from? The captain of the Maddox acknowledged that the weather was bad that night and it may have been playing tricks with their sonar equipment which was already having technical problems. The captain also said they were training a new sonar man at the time and the sounds that he thought were incoming torpedoes may have actually been the sounds of the ship's own propeller. According to eyewitness accounts thematics. A second U.S. Destroyer and supporting American aircraft had spent two hours shooting aimlessly in the dark. Preliminary unconfirmed reports may have misled LBJ's advisors, but there was certain information that the Johnson administration was clearly aware of, information And it was not telling the American public. According to the White House, the Tonkin Gulf incident was an unprovoked attack on routine American patrols on the high seas. In actuality, it's debatable whether the Maddox was in international waters. The evidence indicates the American vessel was actually on a secret intelligence gathering mission off the coast of North Vietnam, monitoring communist radar and radio messages while South Vietnamese patrol boats conducted raids on North Vietnamese islands. The evidence also suggests that Hanoi interpreted this action as aggression by the U.S. But in August of 1964, McNamara told reporters that the communist attack was unprovoked, that there was no connection whatsoever between the activities of the Maddox and the South Vietnamese raids.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71307/file/157259#t=24.16,160.54"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71307/file/157259/transcript/89819/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 3:\u003c/strong\u003e No, it has no special relationship to any operations in that area, and we're carrying routine patrols of this kind on all over the world all the time.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71307/file/157259#t=161.46,173.62"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71307/file/157259/transcript/89819/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 4:\u003c/strong\u003e It is my duty to the American people.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71307/file/157259#t=174.86,176.72"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71307/file/157259/transcript/89819/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 2:\u003c/strong\u003e On the night of August 4th, LBJ appeared on national television to make an announcement.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71307/file/157259#t=176.75,180.67"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/71307/file/157259/transcript/89819/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 4:\u003c/strong\u003e That renewed hostile actions against United States ships on the high seas in the Gulf of Tonkin have today required me to order the military forces of the United States to take action and reply.

For months, the Johnson administration had considered bombing North Vietnam Hanoi was using the Ho Chi Minh trail as a pipeline to feed the Viet Cong rebels, who were growing in strength in South Vietnam. American military advisors tried to train anti-communist troops loyal to a Saigon government, which was wracked with corruption, military coups, and political assassinations. Johnson staffers felt a stronger American presence was needed in Vietnam. A stronger presence than military advisors sent in by JFK. And that might mean the introduction of U.S. Combat troops. But a plan like that, they reasoned, would need the support of Congress. Months before the Tonkin Gulf incident, the Johnson administration drew up a proposed legislative resolution. A resolution that would give the President the power to order combat operations in Vietnam without going to Congress for a debate over whether to declare war.
