Lyndon Johnson :) hope I helped!!!! Have a good day!
Johnson was given the reason he needed to order bombing raids on North Vietnam. As president and commander-in-chief he would have been seen as a weak leader if he had not, but still some thought that it was the wrong choice. -

The easy and often repeated belief. US troops had been in RVN (Republic of South Vietnam) before Johnson (LBJ) was president; before his former boss JFK (Kennedy) was president. US servicemen were being killed in battle in South Vietnam long before LBJ took office in Washington. The Johnson administration commenced open war (via the Tonkin Gulf Resolution) with North Vietnam in August 1964. No other US president prior to LBJ conducted open hostilities with North Vietnam. Open hostilities=Open aerial bombing/bombing campaigns (Operation Rolling Thunder, etc.).
