True of their core electorate but not those who voted for him in the marginals but i don't think that was Wilson's priority.....remaining in power!...True it failed in 1970 [the voters in the marginals deserted him] anyway but for him Vietnam was just too risky politically....not morally.
I remember watching the newsreels from Vietnam at that time....and the only thing i recall is the amount of american soldiers killed by the own side through accidents, what we now call friendly fire!
