I highly recommend that for anyone interested in that time period or the war in general, it's so fascinating! LBJ is a funny fuck too, as big an asshole as he was... The convo starting at 6:00 is VERY revealing. Senator Russell called the whole thing exactly how it would go, and Johnson knew it too but still decided to get us deeper and deeper into what Sen. Russell labels "An awful mess" time after time.... All the calls in that video are worth a listen though.
Just a funny quote from the 2nd to last call which i think about all the time
"...and I really believe they (Vietcong) last longer than we do. One of their boys gets down in a rut and he stays there for 2 days, without water food or anything and never moves! Waiting to ambush somebody... Now an American, he stays there about 20minutes and goddamn he's gotta get him a cigarette..." - Lyndon Johnson
Funny as fuck if you listen to it, and quite frankly TRUE!!!
