    That is nonsense.

    Look, I don't want to clutter up Pete's thread with conspiracy bull$#@! that has been proven false over and over and over again. If you want to start a thread on the Kennedy assassination and waste the time and bandwidth, go right ahead.

    We can start a thread on it in the Paranormal / conspiracy thread. At least it would be blessedly Trump free.

    Anyway, for this thread, the OP indicates many declassified documents that suggest JFK was seriously considering at least a draw-down of the 16,000 US troops prior to his Dallas vacation.

    Had he lived would he have:

    A: Kept some level of advisers in place?

    B: Escalated as LBJ did?

    C: Pulled US forces out?

    It is an interesting topic. Without future research, based on the OP I think JFK wanted a serious study from his staff to suggest options- with all options on the table. The OP also makes a good point: The Bay Of Pigs taught JFK to not blindly listen to his military and intelligence advisers.
