Jim Morrison (front man of popular US band "Doors") was a son of George Stephen Morrison, a rear admiral in the U.S. Navy. Morrison was in command of the Carrier Division during the controversial Gulf of Tonkin Incident, which resulted effectively in the true beginning of the Vietnam War by President Lyndon Johnson.

Джим Моррисон (фронтмен популярной американской группы "Doors") был сыном Джорджа Стивена Моррисона, контр-адмирала ВМФ США. Моррисон командовал авианосной дивизией во время спорного инцидента в Тонкинском заливе, который фактически привел к объявлению войны во Вьетнаме президентом Линдоном Джонсоном.

That whole mess is kind of really f&$"d up.

_"In 1995, McNamara met with former Vietnam People's Army General Võ Nguyên Giáp to ask what happened on August 4, 1964, in the second Gulf of Tonkin Incident. "Absolutely nothing", Giáp replied. Giáp claimed that the attack had been imaginary.

During an evening and early morning of rough weather and heavy seas, the destroyers received radar, sonar, and radio signals that they believed signaled another attack by the North Vietnamese navy. For some four hours the ships fired on radar targets and maneuvered vigorously amid electronic and visual reports of enemies. Despite the Navy's claim that two attacking torpedo boats had been sunk, there was no wreckage, bodies of dead North Vietnamese sailors, or other physical evidence present at the scene of the alleged engagement.

President Johnson ordered retaliatory airstrikes on August 4, amid a cloud of confusion among officials in Washington about whether an attack had actually occurred.

At 01:27, Washington time, Herrick sent a cable in which he acknowledged that the second attack may not have happened and that there may actually have been no Vietnamese craft in the area: "Review of action makes many reported contacts and torpedoes fired appear doubtful. Freak weather effects on radar and overeager sonarmen may have accounted for many reports. No actual visual sightings by Maddox. Suggest complete evaluation before any further action taken.""_

In this thread, i will no longer answer the questions of a virtual Nazi who behaves like an irresponsible one leftist idle talker in attempt to promoting some ideology.
