KENNEDY STARTS CLANDESTINE WAR IN VIETNAM
On this day in 1961, Democrat President John F. Kennedy sent 400 Special Forces troops and 100 U.S. military advisors to South Vietnam, and ordered the start of a clandestine war against North Vietnam under the direction of the CIA.
By the time the Vietnam War was over, 58,000 American boys, most of whom were my age, and had been drafted and forced to go to Vietnam to fight, had been killed.
