Is that actually true though? I think the idea that Kennedy was going to withdraw from Vietnam is ahistorical and is an anachronism used to advance the theory that there was some “deep state” plot to kill him.
He’d been escalating US involvement his whole presidency, no?
This is a clear answer. And to elaborate, the military industrial complex was too strong and too threatened to allow JFK to withdraw from their projects in Vietnam, the CIA generally, and Cuba. It makes you wonder though, could Obama have withdrawn troops from Afghanistan and Iraq completely?
