No he DID NOT MAKE IT UP, this is a 100% true story of John F. Kennedy.

R.I.P. Jimmy Dean! You were a good entertainer and a very nice television host, helping to bring country music into the homes of the USA thru your wonderful TV variety show on ABC from 1963 to 1966. Watching your show each week with my dad is one of my fondest childhood memories. And you did a pretty fair job of acting on the Daniel Boone show and in the James Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever.

kENNEDY WAS WITHDRAWING ALL ADVISORS FROM VIETNAM AND WOULD HAVE HAD ALL HOME BY HIS ELECTION IN 1964.The first thousand withdrawn landed here in the US the day he was assassinated. Three days later the Pentagon issued a notice saying that a mistake had been made and that the decisin now was to send up to 250,000 trrops over there. It escalated from that point when Kennedy had been taken out. And most late declassified files lead that the CIA and some high generals planned his assassination!

My most favourite song ever, since I was a kid. :)

Me and my friend were driving around the other day I was jammin' to this song, and she says "So whats the PT 109?" After explaining it to her she says, "And that JFK guy.. why is he SOO important?" THEN after, judging her immensly and explaining him, shes like "So he owns a boat?" Thats when I gave up. Some people...

But GREAT song :) :)

R.I.P John Fitzgerald Kennedy

@cagal55 Sorry to disagree with your delusional thinking about Kennedy and the "INEVITABLE ESCALATION OF VIET NAM" , but the paperwork was on his desk to "WITHDRAW THE ADVISOR'S FROM VIET NAM AND NOT GET INVOLVED IN A CIVIL WAR AND EVENTUAL NATION BUILDING SITUATION AFTER". John McNamara and Jack Kennedy Authored the paper and "JOHNSON TAR IT UP WHEN HE RETURNED FROM DALLAS". The Old Majority Whip (Johnson) had to pay back his his friends in the "War Industry" .

[cagal55]

I have to disagree with almost all of your comments, JFK would indeed have had the war with Viet Nam. Just because JFK was assassinated, does not make him an American Hero. All those young men who followed orders and went to war, are the hero's and never again in our lifetimes should we ever step on our military like we did when we surrendered to Viet Nam and treated our soldiers like crap. Every American, should hang their heads in shame for the treatment given our Viet Nam troops, "hero's"

Amen to this, brother. He indeed intended to get American boys out of that trap only some dark force never permitted him to do so. It was Johnson who sent combat troops, who with his attitude favoured the "Tonkin Gulf Incident" fabricated as it was to involve de U.S in that bloody, nasty, godforsaken conflict. As the good captain that he always was he lost his life in trying to keep his men safe. May God bless him and keep him by His side as he deserves. We do not know what we lost.
