No,it wasn't. Just because the leftist media screamed this from the rooftops,it doesn't mean it was true. The VN war was a mismanaged (NOT "run") by the DNC and the elitist airheads in the US State Dept.The DNC didn't pull out until a Republican President was elected,and then with the aid of the media they tried to blame the whole war on him.
And all this time I thought that President Johnson had something to do with it.
