Kennedy was a rotten president... In his first hundred days the twit got 5000 killed in Cuba in a failed mission.

He followed up on that disaster by getting us into Vietnam where more than 60,000 American boys were killed for nothing, along with about a million Asians.

Vietnam under JFK was a very light police-action —it was nothing like what would later emerge under LBJ.

I’m no Kennedy fan —I’m totally immune to the mystique thing, but the guy who realllly poured on the steam for Vietnam (and welfare) was LBJ.

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

Actually it was Eisenhower helping the French got “us into Vietnam” by sending “advisors”.
