Yet Eisenhower had no intention of sending 16,000 troops to Vietnam, and he watched as the French were defeated.
As I said earlier, “So JFK didn’t get us into the war the military and Eisenhower didn’t want, Eisenhower himself would have had to start the Vietnam war if his time in office had stretched to 2 more years?
You seem devoted to JFK mythology, that’s for sure.”
“Yet Eisenhower had no intention of sending 16,000 troops to Vietnam,”
A “fact” that exists only your mind and the Magic Eightball that you employ to divine Eisenhower’s intentions.
Eisenhower sent American military advisers and US AID workers to South Vietnam as soon as the French left. He described his intention to defend Indochina in the “falling dominoes” press conference, which typically you ignore since it doesn’t support your pet Kennedy obsession.
“You seem devoted to JFK mythology, that’s for sure.”
Not a bit. You just think that anyone who doesn’t agree with your Kennedy obsession is “devoted to JFK mythology”. On that issue you’re a kook, plain and simple.
