vietnam. >> in july 1965, president johnson announced that u.s. levels in vietnam would rise to 125,000. from the 24th, two u.s. air force captains were already at war. cruising at 23,000 feet, 40 miles west of hanoi, they and their f-4 phantom were in a part of north vietnam designated as route pack six. >> where did those terms come from? >> is they just draw a line across a map, route package one being near the dmz, route package five and six being the northern most part of north vietnam. >> route pack six probably became the most heavily defended real estate anyone had ever seen. >> they spotted smoke trails streaking toward their f-4. before they could react, a missile scored a direct hit. making them the first of many to be taken out by this weapon. after ejecting, they were both captured. like most pows, their treatment was brutal. torture, limited medical treatment, and malnutrition were the norm. only cairn survived. >> you ever see a missile go by you? >> oh, yeah. >> how big is it? >> just like they say. about like a telephone pole. >> t

what happens, after gearing up in vietnam, this is my slide for this, u.s. pports the assassination of dm, ruler of vietnam and his brother and this is november 1963. kennedy himself is assassinated as we know in november 1963, and this is the end of "camelot." his vice president lyndon johnson is sworn in. and he vows to continue the kennedy agenda by domestically with his great society of social reforms. the war takes over and gets in his way. another sort of rather lighthearted comedy is on broadway. "here's love" based on the kris movie "miracle on 34th street" about a little girl who doubts the existence of santa claus. so in some ways it's unfair, i'm juxtaposing these serious political events with these white, fluffy broadway musicals. one of the questions is how does broadway deal with the war, why should it deal with the war, what is the role of entertainment anyway? but we see the war sort of coming more and more to the attention of broadway producer. johnson is in charge and he starts to gear up and prosecute the war more diligently. march 1965, he
