The main thesis of the essay is how the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution dragged us into the Vietnam war and the problems it brought.
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was an approval by congress to protect the Gulf of Tonkin- the reason for this was to protect the US intrests in the gulf.
Using the critic's point of view the author shows his main point of how the resolution dragged us into war and how it still brings conflicts today. It also explains how Congress approved this document but never ended up declaring war.
It links to The Dubious Crusade because both end up badly and have the opposite effect of the intention. As in the Dubious Crusade it shows the breaking apart of the nation and in The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution it tells of the battle it lead to.
