America lied about neither Iraq nor Vietnam. Iraq had chemical weapons (it used them in Kuwait, Iran, and even in the Gulf War) and was this close to getting nukes, and really, the war on Vietnam was always about how "Commies are getting into power and if they do, they might go after other countries in the area" which... well, it had Commies, they were going to win without NATO help, and they did result in fellow Communist regimes getting propped in neighboring areas, namely Cambodia -the Khmer Rouge and later the People's Republic- and Laos, the latter of which is still socialist).

Yes, on the second of august, where the Maddox fired some warning shots and the NVs retaliated with torpedoes. The 3 torpedo boats were damaged, 4 NV sailors killed and the Maddox was hit by one bullet.
yes, this is considered an engagement and therefore could be presented in such a way to justify war. What was originally claimed was not factually yes, but something happened therefore you cant say the whole incident was fabricated.
