I don't know what Maesto is trying to say, and I'd probably disagree with him if I did. But he does seem to be alluding to a critical turning point in the war.
If JFK had not ordered the CIA to assassinate Diem, as the Pentagon Papers revealed, in part because Diem was a Catholic and JFK found his own Catholicism politically embarrassing, and because Vietnamese Buddhists were setting themselves in fire while protesting Diem as a tyrant, the war would have gone much better.
Kennedy's assassination of Diem was a disastrous turning point in the war, a major instance of our failure to fight the war as if we intended to win it.
