Pushing civilians in front of an opposing force is a common propaganda tactic in warfare. Mostly democrat politicians like Joe Biden (who evaded the draft by asthma) embraced V.C. claims for political reasons. Calley was the fall guy and Nixon was blamed even though it was LBJ's war.

Don't worry, Mac-7. I'll still have time to talk to you.

That could be why it is Hell. You have to talk to all the people you tried to avoid in life.

Two very different roles in the Vietnam debacle..Johnson inherited the war from Kennedy and tried to 'Texas' it..make it bigger and better.
Macnamara was the architect of the entire strategy the Vietnam war was predicated on..as well as another dozen or so conflicts.
The Domino Theory~

Johnson massive escalated it. Massively.

And Heaven could be the same location. The person you have tried to avoid really likes talking to you. So its his Heaven.

No idea. They would be someone who liked talking to you, and that you try to avoid.

The only people here that I avoid are foreigners butting into our domestic policies
