While JFK is at fault for not sending in enough men to do the job in the first place, it is in some respect the fault of the hippies for making it politically inconvenient to win the war. Just like Iraq if the Obama's of the world had their way, there would have not been a surge and it would have been Vietnam 2(yes Electric Boogaloo), and just like JFK, Bush and Rumsfeld bare a lot of blame for not sending enough troops in the first place. This would all have been over by now had they listened to people like Powell and McCain.
