А чему Вы удивляетесь? Именно так!
>During the course of the Southeast Asian war, many American servicemen were taken prisoner by both Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces. Most of the Americans captured were eventually transferred to prison compounds located in North Vietnam where their treatment was far below the minimum standards required by the Geneva Convention of 1949. North Vietnam took the position that since there had been no formal declaration of war, even though the Geneva Convention made no such distinction, captured Americans were to be treated as international gangsters, not Prisoners of War.
Именно так все и было! Ползучая эскалация. Никакого объявления войны Северному Вьетнаму не было. Причем долгое время бомбардировки Северного Вьетнама трактовались как ошибки штурманов - не туда, мол, залетели. (Случайно ножичком не того зарезал)
