and had too many friends come home with PTSD, Agent Orange illnesses, etc., to feel any animosity towards them. LBJ was lied to a lot. Now Waste-More-Land, McNamara, and those guys who lied to him...yeah, I feel a LOT of animosity towards them. But you know who I geel the MOST animostiy towards? The f*cking Dulles brothers. They got us into that mess to start with, them and their "monolithic Communism" shit. And Henry Kissinger, who carried it forward.
