Not joking. Do you have different information?

Since I enlisted in the Army in 1973 when Nixon ended the war and brought the troops home, I think I have my facts right. The evacuation of troops in Vietnam started in 1973, Nixon was president. So where am I wrong on this?




Quote:

Vietnam is not a comparable situation. We lost because the Democrats ran the military by public consensus instead of good military tactics. It was the Democrats who started the police action (JFK) and escalated the war (LBJ). It was a republican who ended the war (Nixon). Hopefully, Bush won't fall into the trap of trying please everyone (especially you).




You don't think Nixon ended the war because of public opinion?
