Jesus H. Christ...
Vietnam may have been his waterloo, but he neither started nor ended that war.
SO WHAT?It's not an excuse. He is responsible for escalation and every death, American and Vietnamese, that was a result of said escalation.
"But XXX was worse" doesn't make it right.
The war was lost when public support was lost. Guess when that happened.
Seriously, I'm really
far from casting LBJ as an outright HP. I appreciate what he had accomplished on the domestic front but, for the love of God, shut the fyck up.
