Considering a lot of resources were lost in this particular conflict, I think everyone should know about this.

It's a good summary of many policies that the JFK administration was seeking to implement in order to stop the fights in Vietnam.

he was going to make USA socialist. MLK was moving to socialism too. Good guys = socialists

bad guys = CIA capitalists

sounds simple but it really is. USSR at the time was kruschev after corrupt Stalin had them moving right to capitalism due to bribes from USA.

This will be whined about but it is true. All of history is class warfare.

That time 66+ million people died wasn't true socialism, comrade!
