Who assassinated John F keneddy?
The timing of Kennedy's assassination November 22, 1963 was in the pre-Vietnam war years. It is believed Kennedy was planning to pull US troops from Vietnam and remove us from that conflict. After he was killed there were more in power who wanted the conflict to take place than to pull our troops.
What did John F. Kennedy do that made a big difference?
I am reading the Chris Mathews book on JFK and he was truly the right man for the right time. At the time he was killed he had all ready set into motion the pull out of our men from Vietnam , he proposed our space program going to the moon, began the peace corp, worked at getting the civil rights act passed ( it was finally passed in 1965. After his death), and gave the country a feeling that it could accomplish anything it set out to do.
Why did protestors think the Vietnam war was wrong?
There were no clear strategic goals and objectives for the war, and we were not using the right tactical approach in response to the skills of the north. Casualties were mounting, and the north probably knew that this would ultimately hasten the end of the war by eroding the support of the US people. Seriously adding to the erosion of support there was regular coverage of the war on television through the brave efforts of reporters who accompanied troups right to the front lines. Nightly, we witnessed the carnage that was taking place there.

How did Oswald know that JFK was travelling in an open top car?
It is common practice for the president to ride in an open car so people can get a good look.
Wrong! Secret Service Agents testified before the Commission that having the bubble-top removed was a major violation of protocol, and no one seems to know where the order originated from, except that it was definitely not from Pres. Kennedy. Also, the route itself was a major violation, and was only selected a few minutes before they got there. Again, no one knows who ordered the route change, and how did Oswald know that A) the route would go right in front of the School Book Depository, since that was not the route that was originally published, and B), how did he know the top would be down?
Inquiring minds want to know.....
This is not the kind of question which can be factually answered.
Kennedy was and is a popular president with the general public, but historians do not rate him especially highly. As a President, his tenure was too brief for him to have any kind of substantive impact, and much of the most pivotal legislation of the period was passed after his assassination (civil rights, medicare/medicaid, etc.). Kennedy's tenure, moreover, was marred by catastrophes such as the ill-considered Bay of Pigs fiasco, although he has been widely praised for his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
As a man, Kennedy was a notorious womanizer who cheated repeatedly on his wife, and who had substantive links to organized crime. Kennedy famously had crippling medical problems (a back injury, for example) which he hid, and which he sought to drug out of existence.
Well, if i knew that some dangerous people were constructing missiles, i would want to stop it, so he was probably scared and wanted to keep the country safe without causing too much of a problem.

How were letters sent during the Vietnam War?
We were allowed to simply write "FREE" in the upper right corner of our envelopes to mail letters home from Vietnam. Out in the field, we would get a couple of big orange nylon bags delivered by helicopter with all of the mail for a week or so to our unit. When we mailed letters out, we simply passed them along to the company clerk who got them to the APO, or Army Post Office. All unit return addresses in Vietnam contained the line "APO San Francisco 9xxxx" and were turned over from the postal system to the military at Travis Air Force Base for mail going to Vietnam, and delivered to the same facility from Vietnam to be entered into the U.S. Postal system for stateside delivery.
