President Lyndon B. Johnson wanted to appoint General Lorenzo Thomas as Secretary of War to bring military expertise and leadership during a critical period of the Vietnam War. Thomas was seen as a capable officer who could manage the complexities of military operations and provide strategic guidance. Johnson believed that his appointment would help bolster the administration's efforts in Vietnam and ensure effective collaboration between military and civilian leadership. Additionally, Thomas's close ties to the military establishment were viewed as advantageous for maintaining morale and support within the armed forces.
