President Johnson, hearing chants of "hey, hey, LBJ— how many kids did you kill today?" and taking it as an expression of support and healthy interest in how the war is progressing

We at least have that picture of Johnson being genuinely depressed at how he was viewed.

This is, well, braindead.

If we're thinking of the same photo, I think it's LBJ listening to a tape his son sent back from Vietnam (IIRC his son was a pilot). At least that's the story.
