Interesting article on how LBJ and Senator Richard Russell discussed the US involvement in Vietnam in 1964 prior to the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and how LBJs expresses doubts about deeper engagement in that country. The author points out that this exchange was not included in Ken Burns documentary Vietnam.

There is a lot of still classified stuff that will be left out of Ken's Nam spectacular. No shock there. LBJ was right behind Kennedy's desire to pull out and leave the corrupt S Vietnamese to their own devices. Then that nasty bugaboo of lobbying reared its ugly head. Whats the most enduring image of the Vietnam War? A Huey chopper right? Guess who had TONS-O-STOCK in Bell?
LBJ
Had Vietnam not happened, Bell was on its way to financial difficulties. The USA and USAF had not quite embraced the tech yet.

GySgt John Olson - You perhaps may need to consider "Trading With The Enemy" by Charles Higham. From 1942 - 1944, roughly 49% of the American planes shot down over Europe were shot down by German planes that had American gas in their tanks. This has been going on since the turn of the century. And all of it legal/above board.
Thats right. No conspiracy theories, no secret memo's. All above the law. What do you think of "foreign flagging?" Same thing. All invented back in the early 1900's by big business wanting to "skirt" (not break!) the law.
