Answer:

Some historians criticise the United States decision to send combat troops to Vietnam after the Gulf of Tonkin incident because the evidence suggests that the reported North Vietnamese attack on an American naval vessel may never have happened.

Explanation:

  • There is room to believe after the interpretation of strong evidence available, that the help provided by the American navy to South Vietnam to find the radars of the North Vietnamese Army off its coast, provoked the North Vietnamese defence to attack the United States Naval vessel.
  • If the United States had stayed in the role of an advisor and had not helped South Vietnam against North Vietnam, the attack on the American naval vessel would not have happened.
