All caused by Crooked politicians who did not let the
Generals Run the wars ....
I remember this time really well. In 1964 LBJ ran ads stating he would never let American boys die in the rice paddies in Vietnam!Boy what a liar. I found out later LBJ controlled the beer market and other supplies that were sent to Vietnam. LBJ became a wealthy man as a result of this war he got the USA into.
