Complicity in Mass Murder

however, President Johnson went before the American people interrupting
broadcast television and announced the attacks as genuine, despite having been
advised just half an hour before the national broadcast that there were
substantial doubts as to the Aug. 4th attacks with several contradictory
statements and flimsy evidence. These “attacks” formed the justification for
Johnson to brazenly request the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. The Congress was
implicitly threatened with being labeled anti-patriotic, they were stampeded into
responding to Johnson’s live late-night televised announcement by delivering to
the president a blank check authorizing the buildup of troops, previously and
expeditiously termed “advisors,” and escalated the conflict. For the first time in
American history, U.S. troops were engaged in a war without the formal
constitutionally required declaration of war. Years later, additional recorded
conversations between Johnson and McNamara emerged from the Johnson
Library that indicated that Johnson was particularly angry at McNamara. In a
secret recording Johnson berated Robert McNamara, his Defense Secretary, for
misleading him. "You said: 'Damn, they are launching an attack on us, they are
firing on us.' When we got through with all the firing, we concluded maybe they
hadn't fired at all." 31 These arrogant men, walking in counsel with no one but
themselves and pre-committed to escalating the Vietnam beyond small lowintensity
guerillas skirmishes, took the nation to war, and 58,000 servicemen to
their deaths on scant and exaggerated evidence.
With this fait accompli the Vietnam War began and was then waged and
escalated through to the Nixon Administration. Numerous social repercussions
followed, including the polarization of the country, demoralization, feminism and
the decline of the traditional nuclear family, the sexual revolution, and the
massive increase of drugs being imported into America. It was a goldmine and an
open bank vault for the Military Industrial Complex in defense contracts,
weapons development, and open testing on the battlefields and jungles of
Vietnam. In total, the Vietnam War cost the needless sacrifice of 58,226 U.S.
soldiers killed and 153,303 casualties suffered (and up to 1 million Vietnamese
killed and injured). Those Americans that didn’t come home in a body bag were
