Breanne Gottberg-Harris; Johnson

I listened to Johnson's recordings about sending more troops to Vietnam and well as him foreseeing failure in Vietnam with the treaty that they had going on. Johnson seemed like he was more honorable than he was politician because in the first recording I listened to, Johnson didn't want to send in troops if they were just going to end up dying, without a real reason. In the second recording, Johnson seemed concerned about how he was going to get his troops out of Vietnam. At a point in the second recording, his politician "came out" while his secretary, McNamara, and he were discussing who they could send to Vietnam, to sort out the treaty issues as well as him being worried that the American public being critical of them. Johnson seems like he was an honorable politician, a mix of both traits, that we don't see in many politicians anymore.
