WI JFK's advisory effort in South Vietnam was kept on the scale and ROE of Ike's, when does SVN fall?
While insurgency and especially assassinations were growing problem when Kennedy took Ike's MAAG and enlarged and loosened its ROE with the creation of MACV, I don't think anybody in 61 was expecting the VC or North Vietnamese to hoist a red flag over Saigon imminently.
Would Saigon have faced a terminal crisis before Nov '63 in these circumstances?
