LBJ ... instantly saw the fateful implications in the “damn mess,” as he called Vietnam.
He even asked his friend and mentor, Georgia’s Democratic senator Richard Russell, to attack the Vietnam commitment on the Senate floor so he could use the speech as cover for withdrawal.
But Russell declined, and Johnson plunged ahead with a policy that took the country’s military commitment from 16,700 military advisers to a full-flung expeditionary force of nearly 540,000 troops ...

Short of the current communist-in-chief now in the WH, has any president done more to screw up America than LBJ?

If LBJ or Nixon had just hammered the VC into the stone age, the world would be a better place. Our failure there has encouraged too many groups, such as the muzzies. If we go to war, it should be all out. Every air raid should include a dozen daisy cutters. Either we defend liberty, or we stare at our feet with half measures. A daisy cutter on every known ISIS camp would dramatically improve the situation.
