Sorry to say but the posterior orifice lbj did not start the war. truman had the first connection, and each succeeding president added to it.

"There's no reason for having a Navy and Marine Corps. General Bradley tells me that amphibious operations are a thing of the past. We'll never have any more amphibious operations. That does away with the Marine Corps. And the Air Force can do anything the Navy can do nowadays, so that does away with the Navy."
—Secretary of Defense Louis A. Johnson, December 1949


Today under Obama they are attempting to get rid of the Air Force using a similar rational.
