Great series, I'm on episode 9 now.
One of the greatest takeaways for me personally (besides the atrocity of the war itself and the powerful personal narratives) was the total selfishness of all 3 Presidents during this time period.
You hear Kennedy, LBJ, and Nixon all admit they won't have good chances (or chances at all) at reelection if they pull out.
Kennedy was just such a ****ing hypocrite ("ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country")
annnnnd is worried about his reelection chances over American lives….what a ****ing asshole.
