The Washington Post had just published an Op-Ed piece I wrote concerning the arbitrary choice of March 1965 as the start of the Vietnam War—when 3,500 Marines landed in Da Nang. Before that date, we already had 23,000 so-called ‘advisers’ in Vietnam. Until we acknowledge how the conflict really started, we can’t come to terms with its origins or our nation’s involvement.
