JFK’s greatest ambition as president was to break the militaristic ideology that has dominated our country since World War II-RFK, Jr., 11/23/2013, Rolling Stone

.
On 11/21/1963, JFK said:After I come back from Texas,” we’re getting out of Vietnam. There’s no reason for us to lose another man over there.”… 

On 11/22/1963, JFK was killed…. 

On 11/24/63, LBJ ramped up US involvement in Vietnam: “On November 24th, 1963, two days after JFK died, Lyndon Johnson met with South Vietnam Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, whom JFK had been on the verge of firing. LBJ told Lodge, “I am not going to lose Vietnam.””…With those words, LBJ murdered 58,000 Americans. JFK would today be ostracized as a “crackpot or a kook” for his views of a “demilitarized foreign policy...."JFK’s capacity to stand up against the national-security apparatus and imagine a different future for America has made him, despite his short presidency, one of the most popular presidents in history.” 

11/20/2013, John F. Kennedy’s Vision of Peace,” Rolling Stone, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (“This story is from the December 5th, 2013 issue of Rolling Stone”) 

“On the 50th anniversary of JFK’s death, his nephew recalls the fallen president’s attempts to halt the war machine.” 

“JFK’s greatest ambition as president was to break the militaristic ideology that has dominated our country since World War II.”
