"I'll try to be brief...."

Thank you.

"and that he had made a decision to *halt* the increase in our commitment of troops to South Vietnam, and begin a draw-down, just a few short weeks before his death."

Any record of this, or is it speculation?

"Looks like your batting average hasn't improved any, Scott. :)"

It actually went down. That said, I appreciate your answer. I have to point out though that I can't ascertain the accuracy of your answer. The "drawdown, just a few weeks before his death sounds like conspiracy theory stuff. Don't believe any quotes attributed to Kennedy would back that up. But I asked for your opinion, and now I have it. My batting average is only .950 with you now. ;-)
