Which President or Leader can best tell the Story of the Vietnam War?

After The Vietnam war was over Presidents and Leader Ho Chi Minh, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon decided to meet up. One early morning at Dunkin’ Donuts The Presidents and Uncle Ho got coffee and bagels to start with. Uncle Ho saw that Johnson got a blueberry muffin and told Johnson that we wanted to share the blueberry muffin with him. Johnson told him to back off because he didn’t like sharing. Johnson told Uncle Ho to get he’s own and he said “NO!” Meanwhile they were arguing Kennedy yells...

Kennedy: HEY GUYS! Did you hear about the book deal ? Well, I’m going to write the story about The Vietnam War.

Ho Chi Minh: I think I should get to write the Vietnam war story because I built the Vietnamese into a great army.[1]

Johnson: Ok Uncle HO! But you never made it to the end of the War so why should you write the book? You died on September 2, 1969[2] and The War ended in 1973-4.[3]

Eisenhower: Actually I think I have the right to write the book, Because I actually gave weapons and advisers to help the Dien Deal with the Viet Cong.[4]

Kennedy: I think I should write the the book because Eisenhower didn’t do a very good job fighting the war, I had to fight it for him.

Johnson: I think I should write the book because Kennedy didn’t do such a good job either and plus you died, so I had to finish fighting the war.

Nixon: But I should write the book because If Johnson was a really good President then why did I have to become President after you.

Johnson: Because I didn’t want too.. . I have my reasons

Eisenhower: You only came in after me because I was sick of fighting the war and Kennedy you were also the president for a short amount of time.

Ho Chi Minh: But Kennedy you shouldn’t write the story because you were president for the shortest amount of time.

Johnson: Ok Ho, but you started the war in the first place so I clearly don’t think you should write the book.. .

Eisenhower: I clearly deserve the money and write the book because I'm the one that knows the most about communism and how The Domino Theory can effect the world..

Johnson: I think I should write the book because Kennedy and Eisenhower run-ed for President only for one year and then I took over from 1964-1968.[5]

Kennedy: Well, I sent 16,000 advisors and sent weapons to South Vietnam.[6] “In order to stop the dominoes from falling in Southeast Asia, Vietnam is the key”.[7]

Nixon: I believe i should write the book because, I promised to end war, even though i lied.

Ho Chi Minh: Well I defeated the U.S., Japanese, and the French.[8]

Eisenhower: Kennedy I agree with you but who is the one that knows more about The Vietnam War? And how I clearly said “ If one domino fell to communism then everyone around the country would fall as well and the whole world would fall to communism”. [9] Which is why I think that I should be the one that wins the 1 million dollars because I know more about the Domino Theory than anyone else..

Johnson: Well ok Eisenhower, like I have said in my speech “This is a regime which has destroyed freedom in Tibet, which as attacked India and has been condemned by the United Nation for aggression in Korea.”[10] Communism has affected us in many ways. We helped South Vietnam because we don’t want to become communism like others have already have. As I was saying I became President because I didn’t want the United States to get attacked by communism or them to attack our women's and rape them!

Kennedy: As I clearly said in my speech “ We are using our influences to persuade the government of Vietnam there to take those steps which will win back support for the democracy instead of communism”. We don’t need HO to tell us to share a blueberry muffin.[11]

Nixon: “ If, when the chips are down, the world’s most powerful nation, the United States of America, acts like a pitiful, helpless giant, the forces of totalitarianism and chaos will threaten free nations and free institutions throughout the world.[12]

Eisenhower: I know that but, in geographical position achieved by communist there by does many things. Communism from China will sweep into Japan, Taiwan , The Philippines and to the southward; it moves to threaten Australia and New Zealand. Already , Korea has been divided by communism. It is unnatural and against human order that countries should be so divided between communism and freedom[13].

Johnson: Alright but, I think I should be the one to write the book on The Vietnam War and get ALL the money because I promised my people of America and also as President “Every American President has offered support to the people of South Vietnam. We have helped to build and we have helped to defend. Thus, over many years, we have made a national pledge to help South Vietnam defend its independence.”[14] I kept this promise even though I didn’t run for President the following year.

Kennedy: Exactly Johnson you didn’t keep your word after because you didn’t run for president the next year because you were done with the whole thing.

Eisenhower: All I'm gonna say is this The possible consequences of our loss are just unimaginable to the free World Communist ideas were to spread throughout Asia and to the rest of the World!!, Which cannot happen!.[15]

Johnson: Ok, ok! Well I think we as Presidents Kennedy, Eisenhower and I should right the book because we believed in The Domino Theory. If one country fell to communism in an area, the others around it would fall as well. This explains why I Johnson send an additional 10,000 American forces in Vietnam.[16]

Kennedy: Well, I think we should all agree to write a little part of the book do you guys agree?

Ho Chi Minh:: I agree with you Kennedy. Because I am communist and I think communism could solve some of our problems because everyone would be equally treated.

Eisenhower: Well I also agree because Communism does help us be equally treated

Nixon: Ok I agree too Now lets go eats some Donuts and go split the money so that we can buy more coffee colatta’s.

Kennedy: But I don’t want a coffee colatta, its to cold I want a hot coffee!

Johnson: Oh here we go again.. .

All the Presidents agreed to write the Vietnam War book and shared the money together! Because In communism, everyone should be equally treated. The Vietnam War was lead by a communist and ended to communism. Which then they decided to order two blueberry muffins and share it among themselves. And spend their whole day at Dunkin’ Donuts. Which shows how communism works.
