On accession to presidency following the demise of JF Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson chose to focus on The Great Society Initiative overlooking the fact that he had inherited the Korean War legacy. This would later taint his presidency as US citizens’ faith in him began to fade. Johnson, Obama and Abraham Lincoln were (is) US President with no background of military experience.
