I'm 66.



I used to be fit and toned...



 :sad:

You would be way cooler if you were an american... Because then you would be a Vietnam war veteran.

Australia was in Vietnam too.

With a few thousand troops as a sign of good will..

A lot of Aussies fought and died in some bad situations.

A few hundred..

521 killed, 3,000 wounded, scores more deeply affected for the rest of their lives.

You're still more fit than most guys your age.

I agree too, not to mention if Brick didn't tell us his age I thought he'd be only 50 years old at most.

Seoul thinks he was the best.

He killed thousands of Americans for a flawed and irrational foreign policy objective.



Great leaders care for their people, not use them as cannon fodder.

So, you blame JFK, not LBJ?

JFK sent them in. LBJ lamented that he got handed a poisoned chalice and it was the reason he refused to stand for a second term. He knew it was wrong, but couldn't do anything about it because by then they were in too deep.



The image of JFK being some handsome and benevolent king of Camelot is not supported by history.



This was his foreign policy principle that lacked any reason other than paranoia.



"The domino theory, which argued that if one country fell to communism, then all of the surrounding countries would follow, was first proposed as policy by the Eisenhower administration.[110] John F. Kennedy, then a U.S. Senator, said in a speech to the American Friends of Vietnam: "Burma, Thailand, India, Japan, the Philippines and obviously Laos and Cambodia are among those whose security would be threatened if the Red Tide of Communism overflowed into Vietnam."[111]"



This was, of course, nonsensical.



After being elected;



"June 1961 — Kennedy said, "Now we have a problem making our power credible and Vietnam looks like the place" to James Reston of The New York Times (immediately after meeting Khrushchev in Vienna).

August 10, 1961 — Test run of U.S. herbicidal warfare program in South Vietnam ("Operation Trail Dust")

October 1961 — Following successful NLF attacks, Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara recommends sending six divisions (200,000 men) to Vietnam.

February 8, 1962 — The Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV) is created by President Kennedy

August 1, 1962 — Kennedy signs the Foreign Assistance Act of 1962, which provides "... military assistance to countries which are on the rim of the Communist world and under direct attack".



" However, Johnson knew that he had inherited a rapidly deteriorating situation in South Vietnam, believing in the widely accepted arguments that were used for defending the South: Should they retreat or appease, either action would imperil other nations beyond the conflict.[1"



Kennedy screwed up, royally, and condemned America to a massive embarrassment which killed thousands of young men. He was not a great President.
