"LBJ didn't get us into Vietnam, it was crazies in Eisenhauer's administration who did that. True, LBJ escalated it--and the reason he did it, we now know, is because he wanted to get his Great Society program through, and he needed some of the crazies' support, so he threw them a patriotic war bone."

Untrue, where do you get this stuff. IKE sent advisors. JFK who knows. LBJ didnt want to seem weak on communism so he became macho even after he knew we were doomed. Last 30k dead are because he didnt want to be the first pres to lose a war. Now thats sicker than nixon or bush in spite of the fact i loved civil rights and you loved civil rights and great society (massive wealth redistribution and welfare state malaise).
