Yeah, 'Nam was a tough place for any politicians at that time. Those with the restrained hawkishness of JFK were rare, and pacifism wasn't that big a seller at all until '68 and the Tet Offensive backlash.
In the meantime Johnson got tremendous domestic achievements through after Ike, JFK, and Truman were at points muted out by The Conservative Coalition because of Civil Rights. It can't be stressed enough how bent those segregationists could get trying to keep segregation staying up.
