RFK Jr: “My uncle spent the 1,000 days of his administration battling his military apparatus and intelligence agencies to keep the country out of war” “On October 22, 1963 … he signed National Security Order 263 ordering all military personnel home from Vietnam. 30 days after that, he was killed. And a week after that, LBJ, his successor, remanded that order and sent 250,000 troops in, then Nixon came in and sent 560,000. 56,000 Americans never came home, including my cousin George Skakel, who died in the Tet Offensive. Then my father ran five years later against the Vietnam War and was killed after winning the California primary.” “Three days before my uncle’s inauguration, Eisenhower gave this speech that today stands as one of the most important speeches in American history. He warned Americans against the emergence of a military-industrial complex that would destroy democracy.
