I have to review the history as to why we chose not to attack to retrieve the ship and crew. This was at the height of the Vietnam war; perhaps LBJ was afraid of restarting the Korean War if we did anything militarily in response?

1968 was a very tough year.
Tet Offensive in Vietnam
Russians clamping down in Europe
RFK and MLK assassinated.
Riots in US cities.
LBJ announced he wouldn’t run again.
Chicago riots at Dem. convention.
Those instances were taken off the top of my head. I’m sure I missed a few.
