I want to see what good old Ken has to say about the anti-war movement. It was known then in intelligence circles and somewhat moreso now that Russia paid for a large part of the anti's activeties by passing the money to cutouts in Sweden and then from them to US affiliates. The antis became a fifth column element at home. Also don't anyone take me wrong, the war was fought by half measures and not to win. To my eye Vietnam was Korea but with a very large difference. The west side of Vietnam abutted Cambodia and Laos which allowed for land resupply. Korea had only one path in for Northern soldiers and supply. Johnson didn't let us cut the resupply in Hanoi harbor (Hyphong?). That made a huge difference.
Johnson was a socialist in the Roosevelt model and shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near the levers of power. Otherwise this seems to be a pretty balanced presentation. And yes I am old enough to remember all the mess. I was 4F in 1968 with two cousins who went; luckily both returned physically intact. That doesn't say mentally so.
