Myth: Vietnam was a Republican War fostered on the American people to enrich defense companies and their Republican owners (I kid you not - I have heard this).
Fact: The first combat troops sent to Vietnam were under democrat President JFK. The war was vastly increased and massive amount of troops were sent under democrat President LBJ. Richard Nixon campaigned and promised to get the USA out of Putnem - which he did.

Well, Ike did send advisors. Supposedly he told Priapus from KBunkport not to get more involved.
