... since, "they", got JFK out of the way. The MIC wanted to run things and found an agreeable, "replacement", in LBJ. What politician would turn their backs on thousands of MIC jobs for their state in exchange for allowing further entrenching of the MIC into the fabric of this nation?

Here is hoping and wishing for better times.
