TIME ran a hit piece stating the film was whacko based on a stolen script draft. I see Stone getting the same treatment now.

One Big Thing Oliver Stone got right: JFK was pulling US out of Vietnam.

1,000 advisors out by end of 1963. All US forces out by the end of 1965.

Check out National Security Action Memorandum 263.

A week after JFK was dead, LBJ reversed that order.
