President Lyndon Johnson: Congressional leader, vice president and, in Nov. 1963, assumed the presidency upon the death of President Kennedy. He, at that moment, could not bring our military troops home from Vietnam because the ebb and flow of the battlefields precluded victory. The Vietnamese were not defeated and General Westmorland’s exaggerated enemy body counts did not help matters.

It took President Nixon’s heroic decision in 1975 to bring our troops home from ‘Nam.

President Johnson did not run for his second term, mainly for his failure to stop the Vietnam War and failure to resolve discord in the U.S.

Today every Tom, Dick and Harry is faulting President Trump for bringing our troops home from Syria and Afghanistan even though significant victories over ISIS have been accomplished under Trump.

Why this lockstep squawking for robot thinkers, the so-called experts, as Pelosi and Schumer, our noteworthy obstructionists? It is these Toms and Dicks that are causing the furor and calling it a seeming governmental instability. Nonsense. If indeed there is any instability, it is a war of words!

The U.S. has many troops stationed in Japan ever since the end of World War II, a 1945 victory, yet 73 years of a very large, continuing cost. Likewise, troops stationed along the North Korea/South Korea demilitarized zone with more continued costs.

If the U.S., through presidential action, cannot bring troops home when victorious or through diplomatic solution, whenever can we bring them home?

Bring all troops home!
