Host, if I'm correct, you fled to Canada to avoid the draft during the Vietnam era.
Bearing in mind that Kennedy got us into that, and LBJ lied to escalate it, why do you have such an obsession regarding BUSH?

U.S. military involvement in Vietnam began at least as far back as 1956. Kennedy took office five years later, and emphasized strengthening of special forces, and the coup that the US was involved in.....assassination of the South Vietnamese head of government, took place in 1963, a week before Kennedy died. So.....the war began under Eisenhower, it was signifigantly escalated by Johnson, and then by Nixon.

If there was an answer to my question in there somewhere, I couldn't find it.
