Whitehall, you have no case. The Tonkin Gulf resolution had nothing to do with hating their country. Knowledgeable Americans, right and left, blame the presidents from Eisenhower to Nixon for taking so long to abandon American support for European colonialism.
When you talk about liberals like that, you sound like a fascist. Really, learn the terms.
Americans (but not Veterans) still loved Truman even after the Korean debacle and they loved Eisenhower and they even loved a papist president who may or may not have used his Dad's sleazy Chicago connections to win the election. The love for America turned to hate after LBJ got us into VietNam. Ironically when the US finally won the war after Tet, LBJ quit the fight on national TV and and it gave the NVA new energy. The embarrassed media managed to focus the hatred and anger on the new republican president and sleaze bag LBJ retired to Texas.
Horsecrap. Any hate Americans developed was for folks like you to the far right who try to revise history. Americans still feel that way.
