        I’m always pleasantly surprised when I see a picture of JFK that I’ve NEVER seen before. I see Averell Harriman on the far right as well...

        ....if LBJ hadn't allowed US involvement in Vietnam to escalate. 1963 under JFK 17,000 US advisors in Vietnam, by 1968 US soldiers in Vietnam numbered 561,000.

        Gotta wonder if any of them had an inkling that they were in the presence of a future president and commander-in-chief.

        JFK truly loved his country. It was evil how he was killed.

        Was this part of JFKs education which caused his writing and fascination of Hitler? Some of thoes ideas would badly hurt a politician today if known but even back then were suppressed

        The exchange of looks between Forestal and the Navy man (with glasses) is kinda strange. Officer looks terrified.
