Sigma war games[edit]
- ... that as early as 1962, the Sigma war games predicted that American intervention in the Vietnam War would be unsuccessful?
- Reviewed: William Spencer Anderson
- Comment: As early as February 1962, 2.5 years before the Tonkin Gulf incident actually began the Vietnam War, the Sigma war games predicted U.S. failure if it intervened in Vietnam. Later Sigma games reconfirmed that. The results of the Sigma war games were roundly ignored by high American officials. The United States still fought the war unsuccessfully.
- DISCLOSURE: The lead to this article is being used in several allied articles. NONE of that lead should be counted for qualifying any article for DYK.
