Probably. I wonder what the rules were in the early 60's regarding blind
trusts, etc., for government officials.


For the record, to clarify my initial reply, I would not defend LBJ
politically, or Lady Bird. (I am not a democrat.) I was only trying
to point out the inherent weakness in the Asian commitment. As a
congressman who had a reputation as being pushy to get his way, Viet
Nam seems to be more of somebody else's war, (McNamara's, and the
military's), not his.


The military was against the war from the beginnings in the EARLY 60's.
McNamara ran it into the ground, but it was LBJ's war.

A blind trust was a notable factor in burying us into Viet Nam?


Excuse me?
