<br />
<br />
Cueball: Lincoln was "President" in ''The Civil War''(1990), the same office held by Johnson in ''The Vietnam War''(2017).<br />
<br />
Cueball: And ''Baseball''(1994) briefly showed 1960s "protesters." I think they were protesting Johnson's war!<br />
<br />
Cueball: It all fits!<br />
