What absolute bunk mongo. Kennedy took the first step to place American combat forces on the ground. To that point all forces were advisory and/or Special Forces (the latter largely introduced by Kennedy) capacity. No one forced him to do that. And no one forced him to effect Diem's overthrow and murder.

Johnson virtually ran the war during his administration. He also stepped up the war with the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. A resolution springing from largely contrived issues.

You can play games in your head if you want to but that war didn't belong to the Republicans any more than it did to the Democrats. To say differently plants your head squarely in the ground and exposes your @ss.

P.S. I don't need your URL's, I was there while it was happening.
