JFK created the Green Berets (US Army Special Forces) and the SEALS (US Navy former UDT) in 1961/1962. Kennedy "wanted" to fight a special war with special men. Which would've been the wise way to operate. But he was assassinated in '63. The traditionalist WWII Generals took over...and Vietnam escalated into a WWII war all over again.
