LBJ had the same Defense Secretary in Robert McNamara and Gen Westmorland was still giving military advice on winning in VietnamNot to the degree that it escallated under LBJWould he have passed Civil Rights legislation?
Would he have passed Medicare?
Would he have gotten us involved in Vietnam?Find a History bookWould he have gotten us involved in Vietnam?
we were in Nam when he died
Would JFK had done the same?
No, he would have been cautious with putting us in another Asian conflict.
As for Civil Rights and Medicare and PBS?
Most likely not.
Why would JFK have responded differently than LBJ?
I believe JFK would have not escalated the Vietnam War and would have done more of using advisors while sending arms to the South Vietnamese.
What LBJ did was because of the Military Complex and believe Kennedy was too stubborn and that might have killed him.
