    Through his proximity to American power, Billy Graham gave the Vietnam War a pseudo-theological justification. LBJ named "Operation Rolling Thunder," the brutal aerial bombardment campaign, after a verse in Graham's signature revival anthem.

        In 1971, Billy Graham wrote a NY Times op-ed in defense of Lt. William Calley, likening the My Lai massacre to any old sin we as fallen humans might commit, such as "a thoughtless word, an arrogant act or a selfish deed"pic.twitter.com/JqVWMIPzhw

        Graham proclaimed in 1949 that the Apocalypse would occur within 5 years. While this did not come to pass, it didn't stop Graham from using End Times paranoia to solicit donations for the rest of his career, enriching himself and his family in the process https://thekeep.eiu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3522&context=theses …pic.twitter.com/1zIeDy6OQU

        Graham was also an unrepentant liar, posturing publicly as an oblivious bystander with no political commitments and no objectives other than to Serve The Lord, while privately engaging in advocacy on behalf of his favored politicians such as Nixon. Please spare us the hagiography

        I think so. The combination of twitter callout culture meeting someone publicly living through almost a hundred years of history leads to some pretty hot takes. That they are a minister adds fuel to the fire. Tracey was reasonable compared to the takes I've seen from others.

        That's it? Billy Graham supported the Vietnam War and so he was a fraud?

        The part of the war from 1945-1954 was the French trying to recover their empire. They failed and were out of the picture after 1954-1955
