Erm Johnson was a Democrat and it is he, not Nixon, expanded the war in Vietnam. Nixon spent the next 6 years trying to first actually accomplish something and then disengage from that war. "Peace with Honor" was the buzz phrase iirc. |
Yes I know he was a democrat. In hindsight he didn't really seem like a smart one though, the whole mess was probably why he didn't seek re-election.
