When did we start fighting in Vietnam from Forrest?

The U.S. involvement in Vietnam escalated significantly in the early 1960s, particularly after the Gulf of Tonkin incident in August 1964, which led to Congress passing the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. However, American military presence in Vietnam began in the late 1950s, primarily through advisory roles and support for the South Vietnamese government. The conflict ultimately expanded into a full-scale war, with the deployment of combat troops starting in 1965.
