great post! I’ve lived a few miles from the LBJ library all my life but have never set foot even “on” the property much less “in” the building because I have always thought he was the lowest of the low to ever occupy the White House.
My feelings are not so much about “the Kennedys” as they are about 58,000 plus dead American boys some of whom were my friends. I despise also LBJ’s cronies in that debacle e.g. McNamara, Rusk, Westmoreland and others. Later there was Kissinger too. Nixon is the only politician in that war that did anything right when he ordered the Christmas Bombing. Nixon historically will be rated many notches above LBJ. It’s AMAZING to me how the this federal government of ours always end’s up with the dumbest of the dumb people running it. As someone recently said...”if the federal gov’t were put in charge of sand in the Sahara the Sahara would quickly run out of sand”.
