Liberal or Conservative Test

[Weltall]

Both parties are not responsible for Vietnam. Our prescence there under Eisenhower was neglible at the very best, and on top of that, he refused to aid France when they requested our help in keeping the Vietnamese under their control. The true start to Nam began with Kennedy's exponential escalation of the number of advisors, and completed with Johnson sending the rest of our guys in there, with incompetent leadership and no true goal, to say nothing of a lack of experience in the conditions. And while Nixon's idea of expanding the war was hardly brilliant (If Watergate proved anything, it was that Richard Nixon was an idiot), but regardless, he DID get us out of the hell Johnson created.

Twist it however you like. Vietnam is, by an extraordinary length, the largest, most destructive and most painful fuckup in the history of the United States of America, and that can be almost totally attributed to the stupidity of a single liberal president.
