> [@Lumpy](#): > > It’s a paraphrase of part of line from a famous Kennedy speech, pre-Vietnam War. By 1975 let’s just say that it had reached its expiration date. Maybe it un-expired a decade or so later then? To my born in 1977 ear, it wouldn’t sound out of place in say, a Ronald Reagan speech from 1985. That is, if someone was to tell me even now that Reagan said this in 1985, my initial reaction wouldn’t be to think they were lying. Now if they said Bill Clinton said it in 1992, that would be obviously wrong, but I remember the fight against Communism going strong right up until the fall of the Soviet Union (or at least up until Iraq invaded Kuwait and Saddam passed Gorbachev on the who’s the bigger villain list). ---
