Under Kennedy, moooostly, “advisors” really did mean advisors.

I was onboard ship in the Gulf of Tonkin when Kennedy was shot, the Carriers were launching F-16's as fast as they could, months before that happened. You are right tho it did get much worse, as all Kings X type wars do.

Seriously? F-16s from a carrier when JFK was shot?

You may have been onboard a ship in 1963 but you sure as hell were not launching F-16s, because they were not even produced until the mid 1970s.

F 16’s didn’t exist in 1963.

I....believe you might be in error, as it is impossible to catapult an F-16 from a carrier.

It has never happened. It would be akin to launching a DC-10, or a VW Bus from a carrier.

It sounds puzzling.
