JFK was no saint, either. And the Camelot fiction and the con that he wanted to end the Cold War is laughable.

I don't believe we are discussing the morality of JFK, the more important focus is the underpinnings of the event of his assassination.

The article claims 'Johnson continued to ruthlessly cause unnecessary deaths and life-altering injuries sustained by hundreds of thousands in the Vietnam War, an outcome that the Kennedy administration would not have tolerated." /that claim, and other specious claims that Kennedy was a peacemaker, run directly contrary to history. Most of the Kennedy history was fabricated by his flacks.
