I don't believe I've ever met someone before who gave Johnson kudos for Vietnam and not the Great Society programs. The other way around, or neither, sure, but just![]()
I admit I don't know why we went to Vietnam. I think the North was invading the South. It was just cause for war. It may or may not have been worth it.
However, once you start, you finish, or people die for nothing.
The Great Society was just an extention of the New Deal, Johnson meant well I think, but he just didn't get it, fighting against communism... but letting social capitalism into the country even more.
Its a downhill spiral. The New Deal AT LEAST was designed to help people get jobs and earn their own way, if you see what the Great Society stood for, a world that you can be lazy.
I admit, I can be lazy at some times, but ya gotta work to make a living.
