I'm rewatching Oliver Stone's JFK from 1991 .... and when you listen to Costner's monologue from the real life Jim Garrison explaining the motivation of why JFK was assassinated and eliminated, the Military Industrial Complex was at the top of the list.
Just the actions of what happened the day after the assassination speaks volumes ... the new president Lyndon Johnson stepped back JFK's original plans to withdraw from Vietnam and made promises to his military that they would continue the war.
They didn't just kill a president in 1963, they signed the death warrant for two hundred thousand American soldiers and a million Vietnamese.
JFK also wanted to shut down the CIA and was critical of Israel.
As a companion piece to that great film witch doesn't even scratch the surface of the tragedy in 1963, I urge you to read or listen to the the book "LBJ - Mastermind of the JFK Assassination" by Phillip F Nelson.
It's absolutely fascinating and brings up more than a few irrefutable points. Seriously, give it a read or listen. (I personally prefer the audiobook).
It's 27 hrs long...
