...In the real MOORE/MacNAMRA After-Action Scene back at Gen. HARRY W.O. KINNARD's 1st Cavalry Division Headquarters after our Victory at IA DRANG-1965...

...HAL gave a 15 minute report to MacNAMARA who merely shoke his hand afterward, said "Thanks" and promptly wrote up a Report on the plane back home itemizing why we could NEVER win the Vietnam War.

...Until his resignation years later Secretary of Defense ROBERT S. MacNAMARA personally got to OK every Airstrike Target LBJ hit in Communist North Vietnam.

...With "Friends" like this ..no wonder LBJ became a one term President...?

That's what my husband was saying that even Johnson himself ordered differing strikes in that war rather than leaving them to the military... Kinda sounds like Clinton in Somalia doesn't it?

And people kept saying that Bush had one of the weakest governorships in the country and that he was qualified to be President.

Johnson was a US Senator and a Vice President and still didn't know how to be President.
