IMO that is highly critical given the NECESSITY of a transition of "power" to a new President. Look what happened to Bush and look what happened to Trump. Those failures are not in the best interests of the United States of America.
FYI: It's difficult to get special funding for projects that "don't exist"!
That situation is a far cry from providing motivation to kill a POTUS.
As far as Vietnam vs. S.E. Asia et al that's not "knit-picking"!
Just ask John Kerry when he "mis-identified" the country in which he claimed to have serve on one of his "missions" on "the river." And it does make a difference. Example: How many U.S. military and para-military personnel are in the various countries South of the U.S. border?
Do you
see any "funding" being passed to support those
operations?
I'm familiar with the "mission creep" in S.E. Asia. We've had the same in the Middle and Far East. If you go back in the legislative history you will discover a change in "policy" regarding POTUS authority from Congress to address military activities short of declared war. That was Post-Vietnam.
It's not "knit-picking" to examine an issue based on facts at the time as opposed to 20-20 hindsight and Monday morning quarterbacking.
IMO the Kennedy-Cuban issue serves as a far better motivation for his killing than an alleged desire to increase troop strength in S.E. Asia (or Vietnam proper). That's why I mentioned "Watergate" as being connected to the Kennedy killing.
Fast forward to the current events on FBI/Intelligence activities as an example of covering turds in the sand pile. If you were around and aware of the details of Watergate and the revelations from the hearings, then compare that to today's activities, but not in the same way the MSM wants the general public to perceive it, but from the standpoint of internal intelligence activities within this country.
