LH says ... "John Kennedy died in office. I think he was the last president who dared to oppose the military-industrial complex."

Hmmmm .... you think so

Kennedy came into office committed to increasing defense spending and upgrading and modernizing America's military, (he feared the "domino theory") .... this commitment led to Vietnam ... His administration sent in 18,000 advisors. It authorized the use of napalm , defoliants, free fire zones, and jet planes.

As janie said .... "you would have been sorely disappointed"
