Unless they were high ranking or had particular jobs and can't talk about it...they knew nothing of why we were there more than anyone else.

And that's what always makes me angry. They should not have not been deceived in the first place.
"The deeper lesson of the Tonkin Gulf episode is how a group of senior national security officials can seek determinedly through hardball and even illicit tactics to advance a war agenda, even knowing that the President of the United States is resisting it."
How LBJ Was Deceived on Gulf of Tonkin – Consortiumnews
I don't feel sorry for LBJ. He didn't have the balls to do what he wanted to do. That doesn't sound like him, does it?
I'm sorry it wasn't stopped much sooner. I'm sorry if you also lost loved ones. |
You think this was the first time governments deceived the people to go to war? How about ALL of them... WWI, over some unknown duke? Nope. WWII, Pearl Harbor. We knew it was coming, we did nothing as an excuse to get into the war. Iraq, WMDs. Nothing found, it was a ruse to get us involved in another money making "war".
Our leaders are anything but...they're greedy psychopaths.
