I’m surprised, since most Rats blame Nixon for Vietnam, and totally ignore JFK and LBJ’s role.
Oh, just hell NO! I work for a ‘Nam vet and with several subs who also are-MrT5 was, too. Anything that starts with military “advisors” sent into a foreign conflict doesn’t end well-we’ve seen this movie already-”Hey, hey LBJ-how many kids did you kill today?”...
Yes advisors were fine in Vietnam, FDR had men there in the 1940s, Truman sent some in 1950, Eisenhower had several hundred in, but things went wrong when JFK sent 16,000 troops in and cooperated with the killing of Diem.
