Liberal not leftist. Or do you forget the 500,000 US troops he sent to stop a leftist take over of Viet Nam...
Snicker,... not a Communist take over of Vietnam?
And liberal is NOT leftist? Not since Marx died, 1854, abouts.
Again, what planet where leftists don't fight among themselves for power? Where is this planet where leftists don't want to get rich by pretending they are not leftist and getting rich off (taxpayer funded) defense and NASA?
We lost Vietnam because LBJ, the central planner, micromanaged the war from his desk, raised casualties and prolonged the war past the tolerance of the American people who became susceptible to Cronkite and media propaganda treason. Vietnam fell when it was DEFUNDED by Congress, NOT because our, or South Vietnam's military failed.
