Recommended video and movie on Vietnam War:

What Are We Fightin For? by Country Joe McDonald, Sung at Woodstock, 1969
Goodnight Saigon, by Billy Joel

Note: Listener and viewer discretion is advised. These 2 videos, the the Movie Platoon, do contain some rough language. But it seems appropriate in the light of the  500,000 senseless deaths during the Vietnam war.

John F. Kennedy wanted to pull our troops out of Vietnam. The Deep State said No! The Deep State won, and John F. Kennedy and 500,000 American men lost their lives!

The Vietnam War (conflict,  police action, whatever!) can only be understood by examining it in the light of Gary Allen's book None Dare Call it Conspiracy (1971).
