Blame Lyndon Johnson, not him.

Anyone read his memoir? I'd be curious as to how much shit really does fall in his lap, versus how much for which he is the scapegoat.

It's not like he was the only guy to blame for Vietnam. He had lots of help fucking that up. And you know what? The guys who replaced him did no better. It's not like Clark Clifford and Melvin Laird straightened everything out.

he was a good guy who made some shitty mistakes. the fog of war shows what he was thinking.

fog of war was great. JFK and McNamara didn't want to be in Vietnam. Lyndon Johnson really wanted to be in Vietnam.
