neither
side behaved like much more than bloodthirsty animals is apparently too morally complex for many to bear” (Letters,

. One speculation is that in Vietnam, Kennedy might have leaned towards an enclave strategy of the type advocated by General Maxwell Taylor and others or a Nixonian modification with intensified bombing and murderous “accelerated pacification” but many fewer US ground combat forces; while at home, he might not have proceeded so vigorously with Johnson's “Great Society” programs.
