College professors and students cried out that the U.S. should abandon Viet Nam entirely, that Johnson was a warmonger. New York Herald Tribune Columnist Joseph Alsop complained about Lyndon's close personal scrutiny of the details of war: "The President is asking for very bad trouble by trying to act as both field marshal and top sergeant in a war halfway 'round the world, in a country he does not know, with combatants, tactics, terrain...
