Unlike the U.S. involvement in Vietnam, this plan the use of civilian volunteers rather than military personnel. These volunteers are lo serve in a neutral capacity, rather than being aligned with a particular side as was the case in Vietnam, Nor does it follow that once a few Americans are sent to the Sinai, their numbers and involvement must occessaill escalate.
