Which gave LBJ his reason to escalate US presence there.

TACO Don cannot stand the fact that his Republican predecessors were "war time" Presidents and he NOT one. He is itching to start a war that will cause catastrophic damage to our integrity as a Nation and World Leader, cause death to our troops around the world, and more. His FRAGILE EGO and lust to be in the class of DICKtators like Kim Jung Un, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Xing Ping, is insatiable.
