"No new taxes." This is a quote spoken by George H. W. Bush during the 1992 presidential election season
             . Along with it, we remember that there were new taxes during that president's term in office. There are a myriad of promises made and things done in a presidential election year that have questionable motives as to whether they are done in the best interest of the people or in the interests of the presidential candidate. These hidden interests are one of the biggest problems with the political aspects of
             government in modern society. One of the prime examples of this is the Vietnam War. Although South Vietnam asked for our help, which we had previously promised, the entire conflict was managed in order to meet personal political agendas and to remain politically correct in the world's eyes rather than to bring a quick and decisive end to the conflict. This can be seen in the selective bombing of Hanoi throughout the course of the Vietnam War.
             Politically this strategy looked very good. However, militarily it was ludicrous. War is the one arena in which politicians have no place. War is the military's sole purpose. Therefore, the U. S.
             Military should be allowed to conduct any war, conflict, or police action
             that it has been committed to without political interference or control
             because of the problems and hidden interests which are always present when
             United States involvement in the Vietnam War actually began in 1950
             when the U. S. began to subsidize the French Army in South Vietnam. This
             involvement continued to escalate throughout the 1950's and into the early
             1960's. On August 4, 1964 the Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred in which
             American Naval Vessels in South Vietnamese waters were fired upon by North
             Vietnam. On August 5, 1964 President Johnson requested a resolution
             expressing the determination of the United Sates in supporting freedom and
             in protecting peace in southeast Asia (...
