Not Bullshit. US had supported the French during their war years with Vietnam. The Eisenhower administration which Nixon was a part of were for sending millions of dollars to the french and the Republicans were always about supporting the war whether it was US involvement or the French.Bullshit.Nixon supported and encouraged the war in Vietnam from the get go.Vietnam and Iraq are not really comparable. The USA had no national security concerns in Vietnam.as I was typing ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nam, like Iraq is another country we had no business fucking with ... sooner or later the damn war-dogs will figure out minding their own business is cheaper and far less lethal ..
It was just another one of those unnecessary wars that the evil Democrats used as an excuse to enslave young Americans, throw them in a meat grinder and use them as cannon fodder while they enrich themselves.
Then a bit of sanity took over and America elected a Republican president in order to get us out of Vietnam. He had his faults, but that is one reason that Nixon should be commended.
Nixon was elected to END US involvement in the war. That is his most notable campaign promise. And he lived up to it.
He also, much to the chagrin of DNC apologists, abolished slavery in the USA.
THINK!
As for Nixon's campaign promise, Johnson campaigned on US De-esculation in Vietnam. Looks like they both broke their promises. I noticed you completely ignored the article I presented in which Nixon himself kept the war going on longer than it should have.
