JFK sent 14,000 ground troops to vietnam with no strategy whatsoever.

...and the Kennedy mafia will in turn blame the initial military commitment on Eisenhower -- as if a small military 'mission' is the same as putting combat advisers into the field. Sheesh.

Hey, Kennedy would have withdrawn from Vietnam and we would have had everlasting peace if Lyndon Johnson and the military-industrial complex hadn't had Kennedy assassinated so they could expand the war. I know this is true because I saw it in the movie "JFK". (sarcasm)
