Vietnam in 1963 was not the same as Vietnam in 1966Yep. JFK had increased troop strength by almost 20 fold and gave no indication he was going to get out. Anyone who says he was is the same type of scholar who says no veterans were spit on. Such people as those are confirmation bias homers, nothing more.It's a conclusive point based on all the evidence.Nope, JFK listened to his advisers, as did LBJ. The dem would have grown the war.LBJ listened to his advisors on Vietnam ....I think JFK would have done the same thing
nonsense.
That's a baseless assumption on your part
Your assumption is baseless is the point, pw.
You're full of shit.
The man is dead and up until his death while president did everything he could to slow walk the start of the Vietnam war. I believe JFK's assination was the result of his refusal to allow the airforce to provide air support for the disastrous bay of pigs invasion and slow walking the start of the Vietnam war.
JFK would have faced the same pressures as LBJ faced not to appear soft on communism, not to allow a domino theory collapse in Indo-china and he would have bought into the same military advice that it would be a quick and easy fight
