...1954 when Ike sent the first advisors until 1974 when Ford ordered the last troops out of Saigon.
At the zenith of the Vietnam conflict in the mid-1960s, we had more than 500,000 troops in Vietnam. They were being rotated in and out of Vietnam about every 13 months. We've already incurred more fatalities in Iraq in three years than we had in the first 9 years in Vietnam.
