“Barry Goldwater’s got Hollywood firepower in the form of Actor Raymond Massey, who wants us to get out of a meaningless war that’s costing us “a million dollars a day”. Maybe they could “Go Back to the Future” and stop this meaningless war.”

From Maryland Democrats

What apparently Raymond Massey wasn’t aware of is that Senator Goldwater was in favor of a full-out war against North Vietnam and doing what it took to win that war and secure that country for the democrats in the South to govern a United Democratic Vietnam.

President Lyndon Johnson was the so-called peace candidate in the 1964 presidential election. Even though President Johnson escalated the Vietnam War by getting America completely involved and in the war and doing a lot of the fighting and supplying the resources to South Vietnam and ourselves to fight and end this war, but after the 1964 election.

The so-called Tet Offensive of 1965 put America not only in this civil war in Vietnam but with a lot of if not most of the responsibility for winning this war. And trying to prevent Vietnam from going communist. Which it did anyway by 1975-76.
