That was a good and necessary thing. He accomplished a lot of good and necessary things. All of that is true. But I don't think you can really defend his legacy on civil rights and celebrate him as a heroic figure without taking into account the other side of the coin which is the Gulf of Tonkin and Vietnam. If we're talking about LBJ's legacy, and what kind of attitude we should have towards his legacy, and how much we should respect that legacy, Vietnam is a massive and inextricable part of that.
