When JFK was fighting we only had a small crew there, Green Berets mainly running tribesmen, and we were actually "winning". But somehow JFK realizes the whole thing was a bad idea.

Winning? Once again, what the hell are you smoking? Several weeks before Kennedy was assassinated he gave his tacit approval to the assassination of the Diem brothers. You call that winning? It is almost certain that he would have sent additional U.S. forces into Vietnam as a show of support to the new regime. We had 16,000 troops there at the time of his death. Politically, he could not afford to look weak after the Bay of Pigs debacle.

Oliver Stone's JFK might be the biggest POS ever released.
