According to Edward Miller, "in 2012, US President Barack Obama overturned this chronology [1 November 1955]. He proclaimed that the Vietnam War had in fact begun on January 12, 1962, on the occasion of the first US combat mission in South Vietnam". It seems there is no consensus on the exact start date of theVietnam War, but there were definitely no battles in the late 1950s. So the 1960s is more accurate?~2025-32023-00 (talk)02:20, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
