Homeschool textbooks...shit. I'm still only in homeschool textbooks...Every time I think I'm gonna wake up back in a good novel. I wanted a continuing series, and for my sins, they gave me one. You'll never guess what fun topic we're going to address this week, kids! That's right: The years of Mitt Romney's mission in France! We'll learn all about how the Vietnam War was a just and important fight to save Southeast Asia from being crushed by dominoes, and why things happened as they did -- or as Donald Rumsfeld
Telephone call between LBJ and Senator Richard Russell on May 27, 1964: <i>Johnson: What do you think about this Vietnam thing? I&#039;d like to hear you talk a little bit.

And I don&#039;t see how we&#039;re ever going to get out of it without fighting a major war with the Chinese and all of them down there in those rice paddies and jungles. I just don&#039;t see it. I just don&#039;t know what to do.

I wonder why it is the wingnutz don&#039;t love them some Ike, you&#039;d think he was their dream president ... Republican military commander who played a REAL role in winning WWII ...
Oh yeah, maybe it&#039;s because he didn&#039;t agree that War Is Good(TM)
Now there&#039;s an example of thinking outside the box! I didn&#039;t want to go, either, but it never occurred to me to go get myself shot so I could avoid getting myself shot ... I applaud your ingenuity :)
I just remember watching Chet Huntley in front of a map of some brown place and waiting for <i>Bird&#039;s Eye View</i> or Laugh-In or something.
