President Who?

An excellent point from a reader: “All of the Dems’ words about Vietnam,

Kissinger, Nixon etc. have one purpose: to Republicanize the war. Keep

howling about Nixon and Kissinger and there is no space to write the word:

Johnson. Most young people never hear the name Johnson in connection with

that war, yet he signed my draft notice. In fact I call Johnson the

invisible president. Every hear his name mentioned? Ever? The Dems’

record on Vietnam is not in the consciousness of today’s young people. The

war as taught in schools today is strictly a Nixon/Republican war.”
