As for JFK ...
JFK was the epitome of the character of politician that has brought down "sovereign" USA ....a disaster for America.
JFK did more to get USA to spend blood and treasure in service to his Roman Catholic cult in
"Cardinal Spellman's War"
than any other single man except Cardinal Spellman himself.
True that JFK was no saint,
JFK was world class moral degenerate.

................. Kennedy went along with .............. the CIA in their covert wars they had going on in Vietnam
that was started by Eisenhower, you got to to remember Kennedy inherited the vietnam war from Eisenhower.
Our corrupt history classes tell us kennedy got us into vietnam but thats bullshit. Eisenhower did. ...............
Actually the Democrat weasel Truman chose to side with the French colonialist instead of with the Vietnamese Nationalist.
To his undying shame, Ike DID continue to side with the French ROMAN CATHOLICS ....
example, under Ike was the "Virgin Mary has gone South" program.
(Google: "Vietnam + Virgin Mary has Gone South")
Then, in service to his Roman Catholic cult, John F Kennedy escalated from around 600 advisors to around 16000 "boots on the ground"
For JFK's reputation, .. getting shot was the best thing that ever happened to him.
yeah but they were only an increase of 16,000 advisors though. even in a doumentary that toots the horn of the governments version that JFK got us into vietnam and oswald was the lone assassin,even they go and say in it that combat troops were not deployed till johnson came in. You even see in the interview with walter kronkite kennedy gave with him in sept 63 where he is interviewed by him and on the upper right hand corner it shows 82 causuatys a far cry from the 58,000 that Johnson and Nixon murdered.

had kennedy lived,there never would have been a vietnam war,sure would not have lasted longer than 1965,thats all been documented.
it was not the vietcong or the NVA that murdered those 58,000 americans,it was those bastards LBJ and Nixon. JFK getting shot may have been the best thing for HIM since he was suffering in severe pain with so many health problems and they took his misery away by doing so,but it for sure was not the best thing for those 58,000 americans that Johnson and Nixon murdered.
while true that Truman initially got us into vietnam,under Eisenhower was when the planning of a full scale war started. Eisenhower approved the plans but kennedy did not,he resisted their plans for an all out war to have combat troops in. Johnson came in and he DID implement their plans for combat troops. Davis Kaiser documents and reveals it all in his book. American Tragedy. The books subtitle SHOULD say "EISENHOWER",KENNEDY,JOHNSON,AND VIETNAM.
American Tragedy
The Vietnam War and the Assassination of JFK
Once in power, Kennedy appeared to support the foreign policy established by Dwight Eisenhower. The historian, David Kaiser, argues that Eisenhower’s policies “called for a military response to Communist aggression almost anywhere that it might occur”. Kaiser provides evidence that this strategy was “adopted by the State and Defense Departments in 1954-1956 and approved secretly by President Eisenhower.” (5)
In the final months of his administration, Eisenhower was mainly concerned with trying to overthrow the government of Fidel Castro in Cuba. He was also worried about events in Laos and Vietnam. However, Kaiser convincingly argues that Kennedy subtly changed foreign policy after he gained office. “Ironically, while Eisenhower’s supposedly cautious approach in foreign policy had frequently been contrasted with his successors’ apparent aggressiveness, Kennedy actually spent much of his term resisting policies developed and approved under Eisenhower, both in Southeast Asia and elsewhere. He also had to deal with the legacy of the Eisenhower administration’s disastrous attempts to create a pro-Western rather than a neutral government in Laos – a policy he quickly reversed, thereby avoiding the need for American military intervention there.” (7)
Kaiser admits that the Kennedy administration did increase the number of American military personnel in South Vietnam from 600 in 1960 to 17,500 in 1963. However, although he sincerely wanted to help the South Vietnamese government cope with the Viet Cong he rejected war as a way to do so. Kennedy’s view of America’s involvement in Southeast Asia was expressed clearly at his first ever press conference. When asked about Laos he expressed his intentions to help create “a peaceful country – an independent country not dominated by either side but concerned with the life of the people within the country.” (8) This was a marked departure from Eisenhower’s policy of supporting anti-communist military dictatorships in Southeast Asia and the Americas.
No wonder the CIA wanted kennedy dead.this is a great book as well that documents how kennedy took away the CIA's covert opeations in hanoi and turned them over to the pentagon.The CIA was angry as hell about this.
JFK and covert operations
Schultz provides considerable insights into JFK’s preference for unconventional warfare in preference to major military engagemen
Kennedy was unimpressed with the CIA’s ability to conduct covert paramilitary operations, not only in Vietnam but elsewhere. In June of 1961 he issued three National Security Action memos, fundamentally eliminating CIA authority over unconventional warfare operations and moving that authority to the Pentagon.
So, as early as the fall of 1961 the controlling responsibility for major covert paramilitary operations had been taken from the CIA – in regard to both Vietnam and in regards to Cuba.
JFK was a fast learner and a pragmatist even if he was action oriented. As ongoing covert operations against Cuba failed, we find him turning to the possibility of talks with Fidel Castro which might have ended in a compromise involving Cuban neutrality in the cold war. If he was open to such talks with Fidel about a potentially neutral Cuba, it’s hard to imagine him continuing in the massive escalation in Vietnam and engaging in the large scale ground war supported by his successor.
Schultz is indeed correct because as I said,it was well known around the country that Kennedy was going to pull out of vietnam completely by 1965.there were even headlines that read that in the pentagon paper stars and stripes.
