You are comparing Apples to Oranges. What did we get out of Vietnam?
50000 dead men...and for what?
Great point, Tracy!
LBJ made up lies about the Tonkin Gulf incident to justify VN escalation. Seems
like both cases call out for us being very skeptical on presidents that attempt
to justify use of the military invasion before other options are fully
explored. We should also hold Presidents to a higher standard when they're
using that very conflict as reasons for re-election.
12 years is 12 years Fat Boy... how long should we have waited?
12 years and 1 month? 12 years and 2 months?
We waited far to long as it was!
