        LBJ, JFK & RFK, architects of Vietnam war. Later blamed on McNamara & renamed Nixon's war. Amazing isn't it.

        Nixon interfered with peace talks in 68 for election, & then expanded into Laos, Cambodia, ended in 73. Nixon owned it

        Yea, that's the Leftwing view they lectured in college. Problem is Ike strongly advised no to Vietnam.

        I was nurse in VA (Ohio) at the time & Republican. No left wing stuff in my college. I adored Ike. Just my perspective

        I believe u. but I was I college in 80's. And the narrative then was 'they killed JFK bc he was gonna pull out'. No evidence needed

        I never believed link between JFK death & poss. pullout of Vietnam. We'll never know if he actually would have done it.

        What a tragedy. His presidency and legacy ruined. Millions of deaths in Vietnam. Questionable if USA really learned from it.

        Jasper Countie IN own, Charlie Halleck in the picture. Probably an unfortunate mistake to support that effort.
