Doug,
Please turn on the lights, my statement was LBJ escalated the war, which
part of that statement do you disagree with?

You and Bass both have a problem comprehending English.

PS - Do you agree with Bass that grain alcohol is whiskey?

Doug,

Do you have a problem comprehending English? I said LBJ "escalated the
war.

As far as your other comment about Truman, Truman did provide financial
assistance to the French and provided a few military advisors (35 in
1950)
to help train the Vietnamese troops, but it was the French-Indochina War
until May, 1954. Truman's presidency ended before the French had
withdrawn
from Vietnam.

Please turn on the lights.

Truman authorized the OSS to "stick around", rather than leave Indochina,
as
we called it then.
