"Ask not what your country can do for you but rather what you can do for your country"?

They already knew they were going to go into Vietnam when they came into office.

They knew what they were inheriting from Eisenhower.

That speech was a recruitment drive for Indochina.

JFK was Dick Cheney, with better speech writers.

JFK invented SOF as we know it.

Everything comes from the Green Berets.

Dick Cheney's GWOT is JFK's war, exactly how Kennedy envisioned it.

There is nothing more Neoconservative than Foreign Internal Defense.

And that is what Kennedy created the Green Berets to do.

JSOC is a JFK legacy project.

Here's the biggie quote from JFK's inauguration speech on January 20, 1961 that has gotten lost somehow in American education:

"We shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

The most bad ass Delta of them all tho, was the original Delta.

Lt. Colonel Beckwith's Recon Delta in Vietnam.

Tiger Stripe Snake Eater Delta.

The JFK Vietnam trinity is American Foreign Policy in a nutshell for all intents and purposes.

Hal Moore. Air Cav.

John Paul Vann. MACV.

Charlie Beckwith. JSOC.

The GWOT simply expands Vietnam to a global front.

All seven combatant commands fighting their own Vietnam in every theater, indefinitely.

Funny thing is, they are winning.

America is winning the Vietnam War in the end.

There's barely any VC left for them to fight now.

Just tiny pockets of them, here and there.

What we need is a jungle war.

Just for the aesthetic.

You got VC in the southern Philippines.

Deturte can be a Ngo Dinh Diem.

Bear in mind, this is not Vietnam;



Apocalypse Now was shot entirely on location in the Philippines, with the assistance of the Philippine Army.

America cannot exorcise the Vietnam demon with a blitzkrieg in Arabia.

The only way to face the demon, is in the Jungle.

The Philippines was the Original Vietnam.

It will all come full circle.

Remember the Maine.
