I wonder if Vietnam would have gotten as big as it did if JFK had lived?

I am not a JFK fan, but he seemed to be a man who learned from his mistakes.

As long as those mistakes did not involve his johnson.

I wonder as well. I mainly blame LBJ and McNamara for Vietnam. It’s a question as to whether JFK would have fired or overriden McNamara if he’d lived. I see LBJ as evil incarnate, the architect of nearly all of America’s current woes. We live today in the ruins of the dystopian “Great Society” that he and his HEW Secretary John Gardner, created.
