A Gentleman in every sense of the word. So interesting & fun. I learned so many great and valuable lessons from him. Miss you RWW! RIP.

It started with the French trying to revive their colonial mastery in that part of the world, with help from President Truman (Democrat). After the French got their heinies kicked and they had to leave, it continued with Eisenhower (Republican), followed by Kennedy (Democrat) and, of course LBJ (Democrat), who escalated the war off the charts. Finally, Nixon (Republican), expanded the war while simultaneously withdrawing US troops. Then the war ended with the final humiliation of the US by North Vietnam and the Viet Cong. So, you see, there's plenty of blame to be had. Both major parties had their hand in this fiasco, which unfolded over more than 20 years. Tho you can certainly say LBJ deserves a large chunk of the blame for his ridiculous and criminal escalation of the conflict.
