do you think kennedy would have involved us as deeply in viet nam as johnson
There is no reason to think Kennedy would have done anything substantially different than Johnson did in Viet Nam. He had already increased our involvement from a few hundred advisers to over 16,000 troops He was facing accusations of being soft on communism. After the Cuban missile crisis it is highly unlikely that he would have backed down in Viet Nam.
