I suppose in what passes for your mind, you think those million

Decisions that were initially made by well known liberal Democrat,
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and further reinforced by another well known
Democrat named Lyndon Baines Johnson.

Or have you forgotten those facts?

I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time.

So much for your war mongering conservatives theory.


Quite frankly I can't see why you and Tim would even engage Krause in
such a conversation, knowing how he feels about military and honor..
Just sayin'..


The irony of our friend's holier than thou attitude was just a little
too rich to let it go.

Now he's blaming Eisenhower for Vietnam which is amusing to say the
least.


Really, W'hine? Where did I blame Eisenhower for the Vietnam debacle? I
did state the SEATO treaty later gave us an excuse for Vietnam, and that
that treaty came about mainly because of the efforts of the Eisenhower
administration. The key player was Dulles, Eisenhower's secretary of state.

That war was possibly the most shameful in U.S. history up to that point.
