   Eisenhauer made promises to Vietnam to "support" them.  Kennedy
inherited that 'promise' by winning the election.  He mearly continued the
commitment this country made to Vietnam.

   Johnson was caught in the dilema that was Vietnam. Can you say "rock 
and a hard place"...?

   Nixon got us OUT of Vietnam... and the draft ended just a few months
before my draft lottery number was to have been called up.  Thank You
Tricky Dick, ya saved me from becoming a citizen of Canada, eh  ;-)
