Mitchell Severson Wrote:"One of the few remaining Marxists, Noam Chomsky here undertakes to scold fellow leftists such as Oliver Stone for succumbing to the Camelot myth and asserting that JFK was assassinated by big business, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Mafia, or the Joint Chiefs of Staff (take your choice) because Kennedy intended to pull out of Vietnam. Chomsky rightly ridicules the notion of a Vietnam pullout but-typical of his past political assays-he sees dark, conspiratorial forces directing most actors on the public stage. In Chomsky's world view, presidents are puppets manipulated by America's economic managers (corporations and their lackeys in politics). Thus Kennedy had no freedom of choice but merely did as he was told." Stephen E. Ambrose Review of "Rethinking Camelot" in "Foreign Affairs"______________________________________________________
Ambrose sounds like the biggest lap dog historian in that quote. Chomsky has been identifying as a libertarian socialist for a long time. And even McNamara admitted they were pulling out. Evidence of Revision has film clips of Kennedy talking about the pullout of the first 1000 so called military advisers.
Ambrose isnt qualified to write comic books much less history if hes gonna get it that wrong.
