Yeah, like a lot of Canadian and Americans read their constitutions? Shame on those Vietnamese. And I suppose most Amercians get Ben Franklin's little joke that starts, 'We hold these truths to be self-evident...'

I did read somewhere, perhaps in the writings of Gore Vidal who was a Kennedy or Jackie relative and speech writer in the Kennedy administration, that Kennedy had started the Vietnam program that left Johnson on the hook. Johnson just increased the manpower.
