Wasn't JFK responsible for messing up in Vietnam "On October 11, 1963, Kennedy signed NSAM 263, initiating a withdrawal of 1,000 troops out of roughly 16,000 Americans stationed in Vietnam. Other documents, including planning documents from the spring of 1963, show that this was the first step in a planned complete withdrawal." that's a fact. you can look it up. --- Wasn't it JFK who had the leader of south Vietnam and his brother killed? no he didn't 'have the leader of south vietnam killed'. he wanted to topple him, but didn't want him killed. --- Didn't this killing leave a vacuum that could not be filled? probably.. The unforeseen consequences led to the defeat of south vietnam. we shouldn't have been in vietnam in the first place, but i doubt it was diem's death that led to defeat in nam.
