Essay Question:
« From Johnson’s perspective, foreign policy was a matter of honor, courage and credibility. America had given its word that it would defend freedom anywhere that freedom was threatened; and it must abide by that commitment”.
William H. Chafe, The Unfinished Journey. America Since World War II, (2003), p.267.

How can US foreign policy since the end of World War II account for Johnson’s perspective? What were the major consequences up to the 1970s? Did everyone agree with that view?
