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.

I wasn't attributing the immoral war in SE Asia to any particular
politicians, but, if you were a student of history, you would know that
the rationale was formulated during the Eisenhower administration, as
part of what became the SEATO treaty.

Really? Truman "let" the French back in. That's new.

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.

No but we're getting closer. Port Jefferson, Long Island for another
day and then we'll recross back to the Connecticut side. It might be
interesting to stop in at Branford Yacht Club and see if they've ever
heard of "Paul". My guess is no.

Sounds like fun. How far north will you go during the season?

Doubtful that we will get north of the Cape this year. Everything
south is a possibility however, most likely some time at the Vineyard
and surrounding areas.
