lyndon b. johnson
the seizure of the u.s. navy ship and her 83 crew members, one of whom was killed in the attack, came less than a week after president lyndon b. johnson's state of the union address to the united states congress, a week before the start of the tet offensive in south vietnam during the vietnam war, and three days after 31 men of north korea's kpa unit 124 had crossed the korean demilitarized zone (dmz) and killed 26 south koreans in an attempt to attack the south korean blue house (executive mansion) in the capital seoul. the taking of "pueblo" and the abuse and torture of her crew during the subsequent 11-month prisoner drama became a major cold war incident, raising tensions between the western powers, and the soviet union and china.
