39. are you saying if we were around then, we should have all stood up and saluted?

I admire LBJ's domestic accomplishments, but not the war in Vietnam. On the other hand, if he had staying in the race in '68 and won, he probably would have ended the war. But the GOP convinced the North they'd get a better deal with the GOP, so the North dragged their feet in negotiations with LBJ, sort of like the October Surprise in 1980.
