Vietnam War
President Johnson's Aims
"The North Vietnamese at this hour are trying to deny the people of South Vietnam the right to build their own nation"
"If South Vietnam were to collapse under Communist pressure from the North, the progress in the rest of Asia would be greatly endangered. And don’t you forget that!"
"What happens in South Vietnam will determine – yes, it will determine – whether ambitious and aggressive nations can use guerrilla warfare to conquer their weaker neighbors"
