Carmen was talking about the Moon, which a Great Man said we should go there and we did. He did not say we should go to Viet Nam. The Cheap shot was Johnson, he got us deep into Viet Nam, the War on Poverty, and the War on Drugs, all of which we lost……
We had a War to end War back in 1914 – The current problems we face in the Middle East are a direct result of that. Be careful what you wish for, you may get it.
@Darsan from yesterday: Darsan, I grant that the unfortunates of whom I wrote are the more high-profile individuals, which is not a good thing. I also give you points for consistency: Wrong on 99% of your comment. I spoke of what I have actually seen; you lash out from the darkness inside your own head. And I’m afraid that the accomplished, industrious ones, one of whom is my son, do not negate the rest. The rest, who should know better because they have the example of the accomplished if they would just look, do make it so much easier to shine, but so much wearier swimming upstream.

@Night-Gaunt: you are absolutely wrong. The problem is with you left wingers who can see no solution between going to war and doing nothing.

Peace and freedom are mutually exclusive. You can prefer one, or the other; you cannot have both.

Interesting that Kennedy both inspired the Apollo project and escalated the Vietnam War.
