Lyndon B. Johnson: A Tragic Figure (1963 - 1969)

Me too! I was a surfer who snuck past his Marine Guard to surf Trestles on multiple occasions in the 60's. When LBJ found out about this he said, "I'll get those bastards" and promptly put out the "draft" order, (with no numbers) in 65'. My whole graduating class of 64' (1,500 of us) was taken (along with 100,000 other kids in the first draft), and sent to Vietnam as a cover for his Air America drug running operation inherited from the French. 58,000 of us gave our lives because of this bastard. God rest their souls.

Very good job on most of this. I was in the army 1954 - 1975 and had first hand experience of LBJ as Commander in Chief. I have notes I'm using to write about my army career for my family and this article made me go back and look again at some of the things I wrote about LBJ. This guy was next to evil. Here are just some of those notes: 1st Cav Div. An Khe, Viet Nam Oct 1965-Sep 1966 . The Viet Nam conflict (in my opinion) was like a slow torture process for our military, the bonds of constraint were just now in place and the tightening process would be slow; not enough at first to render hopeless but just enough that keeps it struggling. I know we didn't want to give the North Vietnamese government cause to have China repeat the Korean event but would not it have been better to confront China then than 60 years later? Short term action to protect political parties or people in office is not in the best interests of the nation and that is true today more so than then. Why were we flying F-100s to bomb North Viet Nam targets? The army had artillery and missile batteries with range to keep the Ho Chi Minh trail under constant threat with little risk to pilots or loss of aircraft. Did the Administration or command see use of missiles an escalation that would bring Russian or Chinese missiles into the conflict? If that was the case, could they match the US with quantity and quality without putting their economy at risk? Perhaps President Johnson's position to spend money on social items and not the military made the piece meal, non-escalation policy necessary to avoid political opposition. Maintaining the status quo that would produce a long term failure was the default policy. Sometime I recall pieces of quotes from LBJ such as: "My fellow 'mericans", "My heart is heavy", "We can, we must and we will...", "Let there be no doubt”, "Our 'merican boys". This politician from Texas in only one full term would lead the country into national debt and malaise, a demoralized military, and a broken divided society that would take more than 20 years to change, let alone correct.

McMaster, who earned his history Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill, wrote an incredible book. Titled " Dereliction of Duty", the- then active duty officer in this work outlines how Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and Pres. Johnson, in conjunction with the Joint Chiefs, expanded the Vietnam War into the greatest disaster of the 1960s and '70s. Both men and the Chiefs boldly lied to the American people, and caused the deaths of more than 58, 600 members of our Armed Services. I received now- Lieutenant General McMaster's book, " Battlegrounds", as a Christmas present. It is a work that will pull You into the General' s brilliant analyses of our country from Vietnam to the present danger. Very much worth reading, it is fascinating. Again, may God Bless You, Sir!

People don't really understand that the American government only nominally controls the American military, the CFR and corporate kingpins are who control military adventurism because they're the ones who produce the weapons... military honchos HATED McNamara's controlling the war,, LBJ got away with calling the Joint Chiefs "mental defectives" and "filthy sh*theads" BECAUSE he basically okayed everything they were doing... And Johnson ONLY made the SURPRISE announcement that he ordered the military to basically stop offensive ops WHILE SAYING HE WASN'T RUNNING for president again,, as if to tell the honchos "yeah I'm bucking your plans BUT I'm also getting TF OUT of the administration"...

In my opinion, good and evil coexisted within Lyndon Johnson and he was a complicated person. In many ways he was little different from the heads of large companies, not shy to twist arms, but he was a political rather than a business boss. He frequently got his way. Kennedy lacked Johnson's ability to get things done in Congress. His stance on Vietnam was not very different from that of other hard-bitten men who'd been tested in World War II and/or the Cold War. And though he began as a segregationist from Texas, in time he came to believe the racial problems were holding back his native region of the South and extended himself to change things for the better. It is hard to accurately characterize Lyndon Johnson.

[@rlrieth]

Your take on LBJ is far different than others I’ve heard. I don’t think the man was a virtuous as you make him out. Kennedy was trying to pull out of Viet Nam when LBJ took over and escalated that horrible war. Not only that, you do’t mention the animosity between RFK and Johnson which was actually hateful. I don’t think JFK liked him much either.

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

I didn't call him "virtuous" and I explained his missteps with Vietnam quite clearly.

[@terwaantherouanne5919]

JFK was not about to pull out of Vietnam; he even said such a move would result in the whole of East Asia falling to communism during his Ft. Worth speech the day he was killed. Also, check out JFK's talk with Cronkite two months before his death - which was oh so maliciously perverted and cut by Oliver Stone - in which he literally says that he DISAGREES with the people who said the US should withdraw. And no, NSAM 237 did not 'reverse' NSAM 236, it actually re-enforced its contents. Oliver Stone's 'JFK' is a horrible place for historical accuracy

Why do you think the very man who hated Kennedy so much that he had him assassinated and usurped eventually would have “extremely passionate” political rants after about 2 years wanting to make sure JFK was honored and would then devote his career to civil right. This pissed off the very people who got him in his position from the get go, but showed many Americans like myself that this man was not evil per say, but a very tragic, complex character!!

This idea that the CRA and VRA pushed the south right into the Republicans’ arms is completely false.

[@blakesutherland519]

The South had started flirting with voting Republican in 1920. Warren G Harding was the first Republican presidential candidate to carry a state of the former Confederacy since Reconstruction. Herbert Hoover Carried Texas, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia in 1928. The Great Depression knocked the wind out of the GOP in the South for the next 20 years. In 1952, Dwight Eisenhower carried a good chunk of the South and did even better in 1956. Looking at the state by state numbers starting in 1952, you kinda realize that Democrats slowly lost a greater and greater share of the White southern vote in each Election between 1952 and 2000. Democrats continued to do well at the state level until 1994. The modern 2 party ideological alignments started taking shape in 1920 when the GOP became the Conservative party in America and then in 1932 when the Democratic party became the more liberal. Until the election of of 2000 both parties had liberal, moderate and conservative wings that kept them centered. I personally think that the two party system is obsolete and honestly unnecessary. I also think that it's pathetic that we live in the most diverse nation on Earth but are stuck with a simple Conservative or Liberal mindset. I'm a liberal who votes 3rd party because I think the 2 party system is owned by international corporations.

He'd whip his dick out and pee in places to try and show off his penis (supposedly it was pretty big but you can never trust anything anyone says about their own genitals). His actions in the Vietnam War were every bit as bad as Bush and by extension worse then Trump. The Gulf of Tonkin incident was entirely fabricated by the Johnson administration so he could expand the war. Then there was "McNamara's Morons" aka Project 100,000 which was when his administration fudged the minimum requirements for the draft so he could help "solve" poverty while also expanding the Vietnam War by drafting tons of uneducated poor people where they suffered a significantly higher casualty rate then other draftees or volunteers (especially since they disproportionately sent to the frontlines). We cant know his personal thoughts but a major reason for his obsession with the Vietnam War was likely simple partisan politics. The Republicans were rabidly anti-communist in the 40s, 50s, and 60s to a larger degree then the Democrats (who werent pro communist or anything just not as anti communist). The loss of China to the CCP helped win Eisenhower and the GOP the 1952 election after 20 years of continuous Democrat rule and the GOP won in part thanks to blaming the Democrats for not supporting the Nationalists enough in the Chinese Civil War. When JFK/LBJ won by an extremely narrow margin in 1960 (around 0.2% of the popular vote) he knew he needed to take a strong anti-communist stance and the failure of the Bay of Pigs and the following Cuban Missile Crisis could have tanked his career if he didnt take a strong stance so he invented an excuse to expand the war and make a show of force. That backfired of course and cost his party in 1968 but it probably seemed like a good idea in 1964. Hyper partisan, egotistical, and warmongering all sound like Trumpy characteristics to me.

He was always looking for acceptance, and love from people. Since we have the advantage of hindsight, we look at his Presidential term much more differently now. The Vietnam War aside, he helped pass more legislation than any other President since FDR. ALL not our casualties were under his term, remember that Richard Nixon followed him, and widened the war!!!!

[@squitzy]

Both Johnson and Nixon served as President for approximately 5 years. American deaths in Vietnam under Johnson approximately 36,750. American deaths in Vietnam under Nixon approximately 21,200. And you say Nixon widened the war?? I believe that Nixon worked hard to get us out of it during his administration.

[@williamheyman5439]

@@fredloeper8579 So I am 86 years old and remember that the only reason for this was to get Kennedy reelected. And I knew one of his advisors. They thought that he was seen as "soft on communism," so sought to move the "sphere of confrontation" to the far east. Then he was killed and Johnson had the same problem. Then Nixon had the same problem. He could not be seen as abandoning them. Anyway, we did. And I was an operations officer for six special forces and another six MACV teams in the Mekong Delta. No foreigners could be seen as anything but occupiers, because that is all that Vietnam had known. We even went into known Viet Cong villages with aid and medical care, which they thanked us for, but nothing would have made any difference. All foreigners were occupiers

The money from Houston was essential to create him, as the powerful person to serve the interests of the Brown and Root guys..... But LBJ could blow smoke up any Senators ass......

[@brianarbenz1329]

The fatal flaw in the FDR New Deal is that it maintained and actually greatly strengthened segregation, in order to keep the southern Democrats in the party. It was inevitable that if you give them red lining of mortgages (thus creating urban ghettoization) in order to get the votes to create Social Security, minimum wages, and the right to form labor unions, you set a time bomb ticking. The Nixon and Reagan forces portrayed rising crime and urban riots as consequences of liberal policies, when in truth they were the consequences of the New Deal and Great Society not really being liberal.

[@davidroberts7282]

I think history has proven the New Deal was far more effective, lasting set of economic, socio-political policies that while far from perfect, did keep confidence in our political and economic systems going while other nations experimented with fascism or like in the case of UK and France had large far-right fascist movements (Oswell's Blackshirts, "Blueshirts" in France), a monarchp-fascist regime took hold with Franco's Nationalists after winning the Spanish Civil War in 1939. The German-American Bund, KKK,.and Silver Shirts were little more then annoying, fringe groups in 1930's America. The biggest problem with Great Society wasnt it social liberalism or any specific idealogy attached to it, it was that it wasn't well-funded, and therefore, not as effective as Atlee's UK nationalization and "welfare state" post-WWII. When you have tens of millions of dollars being poured into a quagmire in Vietnam instead of funding Medicare, Medicaid, Job Corps, Truth and Lending Act, anti-poverty programs, and CRA and VRA gave African-Americans political.power, the riots of the mid-late 60's were more about lack of economic power, or disparity, issues that can't necessarily be solved so easily with laws, it's more of a deeply-entrenched systemic of issues, concepts LBJ and his admininistration ever really understood. Plus, you had younger segments of urban, poor African-Americans that began to reject MLK's non-violent civil disobedience, believing it was too slow to create change, hypocritical, and some civil-rights activists even by 1962-63, like Stokely Carmichael, had begun to question the logic of getting beat up and assaulted by racist, angry KKK or White Citizens Councils showing up or burning Freedom Marchers buses. They began listening to more radical, easier to digest ideals, doctrines pushed by Malcolm X, and later on, the Black Panthers, who were essentially a far-left, secular, socialist group whose core ideals were mostly borrowed from Malcolm X and European "New Left" radical groups.

Good story there were a few things I found out later if they are true or not am not quite sure but here goes might get some backlash but oh well. Johnson as VP he knew Kennedy had health problems and thought since i lost the president nomination I will take the VP job and when Kennedy dies I will just move in. I read where if he did not get the VP job he set himself up in Texas to go back to the senate. I think he gave the Kennedys the TREATMENT that is where he would get in your face and hound you till you caved into him. They say war is good for business and the Vietnam War was a goldmine for LBJ and anybody who invested in the war. War profiteering is big business and those who invested in the war made big bucks who cares what side got the ammo as long as it lined the pockets of the fat cats. The JFK assassination was all LBJ's idea he made sure all was focused on 3 things Oswald did it 3 shots were fired and it came from a 6th floor window. And the Mob the CIA and FBI would benefit from the assassination down the road the CIA kept the war rolling for 12 more years Hoover could run the FBI till he was 130 years old if he lived that long. The Mob got Bobby Kennedy off their backs they wanted to kill Bobby but got Jack instead and it cut the head off the snake and Bobby didn't bother them anymore.
