Johnson started the Vietnam War over an incident which never occurred, managed to get 70,000 Americans killed – and then we left the place a complete mess with the Khmer Rouge in charge of much of the region.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

And Vietnam was the only war we’ve waged in which the pretext for it was staged/didn’t happen, right?
LBJ also staged the war on poverty which has lasted over 50 years and which the Dems continue to lose. 🙂
LBJ was a bastard that cheated blacks forever with his Great Society BS for votes.
Is it really fair to talk that way about a man who was awarded the United States Silver Star, the nation’s third-highest combat decoration?

Thanks for the link Jason. 🙂
I especially like this statement…
“However, combat veterans of a much later war seem in wide agreement: among the tragedies of WW II is the fact that, on June 9th, 1942, Petty Officer Saburo Sakai never got a shot at Congressman Lyndon Johnson.”
Jason, nothing to do with what I wrote. Stay on the topic.

@ Eric Barnes LOL! Yeah…very true! The man was a sociopath.
Sakai’s book ‘Samurai’ is one of the most riveting accounts of aerial combat in WWII that I have read.
As history goes, this post puts you in the category of Oliver Stone.
Shit doesn’t happen.
That war messed up my wife’s uncle. Just passed away after suffering from Parkinson’s for 20 years…
It was a very lucrative war and created very good balance sheets for many well-connected companies.
“managed to get 70,000 Americans killed”
And more than three million Vietnamese, Laotians, and Cambodians, as well as 5,000 South Koreans, 500 Australians, and Thais and New Zealanders. But they don’t count, do they?
“– and then we left the place a complete mess”
However, the Vietnamese tidied up their part fairly quickly.
“with the Khmer Rouge in charge of much of the region.”
No, only in charge of Cambodia. The Vietnamese took care of that, as well.
The amazing thing about the left is the ability to constantly find something to bitch about.
And yet the real attack on the USS Liberty was ignored by LBJ. A bigger mess in the Middle East was to follow in the decades ahead.
OT
UnSkewedPolls.com has Romney way ahead.
