An interview with John Barbour, who made The Garrison Tapes documentary twenty years ago. I really didn't know anything about him.
His memory is a little faulty about when LBJ sent troops to Vietnam, but he is 80 years old.

Hell, I was there and now a bit sketchy as to when LBJ sent in the Green Machine, I suspect August 1965 or thereabouts? USArmy !st Air Cavalry Division.

Barbour says it happened two days after JFK was killed. I think he's misremembering the NSAM documents that were changed that weekend.

Watch this, it's very good. Barbour may not have gotten the Larry King story exactly accurate. He should have told the part where King heard of Bobby's planned assassination as was shown in a thread on this site.
The bottom line here is we are going to continue chewing cud on this until we do something to permanently fix it.

From Wikipedia:
Quote:After several attacks upon them, it was decided that U.S. Air Force bases needed more protection as the South Vietnamese military seemed incapable of providing security. On 8 March 1965, 3,500 U.S. Marines were dispatched to South Vietnam. This marked the beginning of the American ground war. U.S. public opinion overwhelmingly supported the deployment.[SUP][/SUP] This deployment was marked by the Marines wading ashore recalling, for PR purposes, the WWII Pacific invasions.
