The man was a military genius for sure. Can't blame him for being a good general.
We shouldn't have been in Vietnam in the first place. Same with the french.
Flame suit on.

ETA: no more than Marshall Zhukov or Mao. "Victories" (although some of them against us actually weren't) built on the back of enormous dead amounts of their troops. No, the true military "geniuses" were those who could defeat the enemy at a minimum (granted, a sliding scale) of their men's lives.

Hanoi John Kerry is probably giving the eulogy.
Ya know, as smart as he must have been, you'd think that he would have been able to organize his people against the spread of communism rather than for it. It saddens me that suffering was inflicted on all sides--nobody really won, everyone lost. Maybe it accomplished some necessary venting to prevent nuclear war, and that was only necessary because we didn't finish off Stalin in 1945 when it would have been easiest. What a messed up sequence of events that ended up being.

Now now, that's a little over the top harsh, isn't it? His last name wasn't Kennedy or Cuomo or Daley.

Was he governor of NJ, MA, or NY at some point I'm not aware of?
