[Sans-Culotte]

I didn't watch any of liberal dweeb Burns' program, but a liberal weenie at work was raving about it. He kept repeating the mantra that Oliver Stone did in his POS movie JFK: "Kennedy was going to get us out of Vietnam, but unfortunately, was assassinated before he could do so". Apparently, Burns was riffing on that as well. Is there any evidence that JFK was even thinking about getting the USA out of Vietnam?

There’s a great book that came out 20 years ago, around the time that
“JFK” by Oliver Stone came out. It’s called “JFK and Vietnam”. It makes a compelling case that, yes, Kennedy knew that South Vietnam was a lost cause, and couldn’t be made to stand on its own, and that the U.S. should cut its losses and make a stand elsewhere. His challenge was to withdraw all 16,000 U. S. advisors by 1965, all the while still looking strong and winning re-election. Those who claim that had he won re-election that 500,000 U. S combat troops would be in Vietnam by 1967, exactly the same as Johnson, are on very shaky ground, I think.
