No, they're not ... ( 5 months ago by Scotty7617)

No, they're not stupid. That's the worst part. They're very smart.
You're absolutely right. They don't escalate the war without a reason, so they decieve the people into believing there's a reason.
Vietnam was about war profiteering. Stopping communsism was the bullshit lie that was used to justify it.
You think war profiteers care about people's lives or how much taxpayer money is wasted as long as they make a fortune?

But you have ... ( 5 months ago by Whisper2771)

But you have selective understanding, LBJ decided to go to full fledge combat based on an incident that didnt happen, False Flag Ops needs to be stopped! If you've never seen this docu you should, listen to how he hates the dropping of the A-bombs on Nag & Hiro, He clearly states it was pointless! There were air bombings that took place before 8-4-1945 that decimated Japan. Nag & Hiro was an experiment, a petri-dish! As is this "war"(experiment) in Iraq.

And, yes, he did do a lot of good as president, which is largely overshadowed by this foolish war based on lies.
jfk, yes, but lbj was not a good pres. and who care about his civil rights act? it dosn't make up for the millions killed on his watch.

Yes, he does say ... ( 5 months ago by Scotty7617)

Yes, he does say that, but it was the second attack that was used to justify the escalation of the war.

You tube: "USS Liberty Attack - False Flag."
And both McNamara and LBJ knew it didn't happen all along.

Great documentary, ... ( 4 months ago by zenmachinefilms)

Great documentary, well deserved Oscar winner. Great to see McNamara spill his guts and admit he was wrong all these years later.

Well, he does admit ... ( 4 months ago by Scotty7617)

Well, he does admit some of the lies, but he also holds some stuff back, like when he says he can't remember if he authorized the use of agent orange, or when he says he feels responsible for the assassination South Vietnam's president Diem. Of course he feels responsible. He was one of the one of the ones who planned it.

My uncle volunteered and proudly served in Vietnam only to be used as a guinea pig for Agent Orange and to come back a junkie! So fuck this piece of shit government! I wish I believed in Hell so I could take some sort of comfort that they'd all be there!

Well he and Kennedy didn't want the SV generals to kill Diem, but they wanted him out of power so they could take control of SV more than what Diem was allowing them.

You do know that ... ( 3 months ago by Swazi4)

You do know that LBJ was pretty much carrying out JFK's administration right? No matter who was president, we would've waged the Vietnam War. The coup on President Diem which was helped by JFK will tell you that.

Not necessarily. ... ( 3 months ago by Scotty7617)

Not necessarily. Even if Kennedy wasn't going to pull the US out, there's no guarantee he would have escalated it.
Kennedy had said he would not let Vietnam become America's war, and that regardless of what support the US provided, in the end it had to be the Vietnamese who did the fighting because it was their war.

This war was ... ( 3 months ago by beatlebonzo)

This war was legally a non-starter.So Johnson
took a chapter from Hitlers propaganda plans
and falsified a
sea attack to whip up the public's sense of outrage.For Adolf,the plan
was to burn down the German Parliament - AKA The Reichstag. Find some mentally ill patsy who is willing to "confess" - preferably a
Jewish immigrant so that the Germans will buy
into Hitler's racial hatred and get them ready
for war. This formula seems to work well and
so other countries have copied it-ie,Gulf of Tonken

Ladybird Johnson was the major shareholder in Brown annd Root; a construction company that built Cam Rahn Bay and much else iin Vietnam. Brown and Root is a Haliburton company. Dick Cheney is just carrying on a tradition that goes back decades.

There is a difference between escalation and invasion which you clearly don't understand. Hiltler waged invaded without provocation and staged the 'attack' of Poland by taking a criminal, suiting him up as a Polish soldier and shooting him. US soldiers were already fighting and dying in Vietnam to begin with. There was ONE attack on a destroyer and the other attack didn't happen. They were right once and wrong once if you kept watching the film.
