3) Camelot was a myth ... in both its Arthurian and Kennedian incarnations. What ended on Nov. 22, 1963, was a dream. Unfortunately, it was followed by the LBJ nightmare.
Apparently I’m in the minority, but I admire JFK. He could have sat out the war, but fought his way into uniform, and the deck of PT109.
Had he lived, we would not have experienced Vietnam, or Johnson.
I don't know about that. The guys that ran the war for LBJ were the same guys that would have continued to do so under JFK. He might have pulled out, might not have. It is certainly not definite that he would have. The USA was committed to stopping the spread of communism in those days.
“Had he lived, we would not have experienced Vietnam, or Johnson.”
Had Nixon been president, we likely would not have seen the Berlin Wall or the Cuban missile crisis.
