Vietnam

It is fortunate for Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Robert McNamara, Henry Kissinger, William Westmoreland, and others, that Hell does not exist, and is merely a construction of Christianity, designed to control primitive peoples.

That being said: Any person (not having been shot at or to have shed blood in the Vietnam War), who lays blame on, or has contempt for, any grunt solider, for anything done during Vietnam, should truly ask themselves if an 18-20 year old kid; sent to a strange land; not knowing why he is fighting; not knowing who is friend and who is foe; should he be held personally responsible for what he does... I say No!!!

On a side note, I think it says a lot about about the propaganda machine in the US that we use the same nickname giving to president Lyndon Baines Johnson as we do for LeBron James. Do we really want to be comparing arguably the best athlete in the world, and by all accounts a decent man, to a president who deliberately lied to and deceived the American people into an evil war. A man who could actually be considered a war criminal!!!! Were Johnson's actions fundamentally different than those of say, Slobadon Milosevic, or Augusto Pinochet? Perhaps? Maybe we don't need to go as far back 150 years and James Buchanan to find a president as bad as George W., we had Johnson and Nixon back to back just 35 years ago!!!!
