history channel documentary Taylor/Rostow report-Kennedy sent Maxwell Taylor and Walter Rostow to Vietnam to give him a report on advancement. What returned was not promising. The ARVN had a protective viewpoint, and no desire for a hostile fight. The report recommended that the US would need to send over no less than 8,000 more counsels. Kennedy was reluctant to send any more troops on the grounds that once included, he could see no limit to the dedication. The initial 8,000 would just prompt the need for additional. Fortunately, or not, contingent upon what you look like at it, there was a gigantic surge in the Mekong delta, so the organization felt as though it could send the 8,000 counsels as surge help, and expel them without humiliation if necessary.

1961-1962-US system kept on being the hopeful view that the ARVN could be prepared to in the end handle things all alone. Despite the fact that Kennedy had to send in more counselors, up from 3,205 in 1961, to 9,000 in 1962, the US government attempted its best to take the center street and not to incite any military activity from Russia or China.

He required assistance from the US, yet he was delicate of resembling a manikin to US requests. He would settle on choices without counseling the US, and America would give back where its due. As an approach to control Diem, the US advised him that it would send no further guide until Diem consented to government change and including the United States in his choices. Albeit both sides consented to plot, neither finished, and they frequently conflicted with each other.
