Answer:
Bloomberg Politics created several graphics showing some of the more prominent reasons people didn't vote in the 2012 election, compiled from U.S. Census Bureau data. The graphics show that non-voters certainly cannot be lumped into a single demographic group. From logistical issues to technical difficulties to a lack of political engagement, respondents reported a range of obstacles to exercising one of their most basic democratic rights. Some of these can be easily solved, while others require working around complicated institutional barriers or persuading could-be voters that there's even a reason to get involved in the political process. While the right to vote is an individual's to practice or dispense with, here's how you can challenge the many arguments you may hear for not going to the polls.

Answer: He wanted to take strong action against North Vietnam.
Historical context:
President Lyndon Johnson used alleged attacks by North Vietnamese against US ships in the Gulf of Tonkin as a reason to ramp up heavy war efforts against North Vietnam. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was passed by Congress in August, 1964, after reports of possible attacks on two US naval ships. The key wording in the resolution said:
- <em>Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.</em>
That resolution served as a blank check for President Johnson to send troops to whatever extent he deemed necessary in pursuance of the war. Johnson's strong actions taken against North Vietnam meant a huge increase of America's involvement in the war. Between 1964 and the end of Johnson's presidency in 1969, US troop levels in Vietnam increased from around 20,000 to over 500,000.
