Manifest History @ManifestHistory - Vietnam War: Operation Starlite
1/ On August 18, 1965, Operation Starlite kicked off—the first major U.S. ground offensive in the Vietnam War. Set near the newly established Marine base at Chu Lai, South Vietnam, it pitted 5,500 U.S. Marines against the Viet Cong’s 1st Regiment, estimated at around 2,000 fighters on the Van Tuong Peninsula. This intense seven-day search-and-destroy mission put emerging U.S. tactics to the test amid rising tensions. Casualties ran high: about 45 Americans killed and 203 wounded, while VC losses were reported at 614 dead—a figure often debated. This thread traces the broader buildup to U.S. involvement in Vietnam, the operation’s key moments, and its lasting ripple effects, capturing a turning point in America’s deepening commitment to the conflict.

Margot Cleveland @ProfMJCleveland - A) We get it and it's not funny; B) If after a week, you think no one "gets" your joke, you should realize it sucks and stop making a fool of yourself, instead of repeating the same non-funny routine.
