In 1964 LBJ won the Presidential Election because Goldwater wanted to bomb North Vietnam back to the Stone Age via B-52 strikes.
Eight years and a month later President Nixon effectively ended the conflict when he sent the B-52s north to bomb North Vietnam back to the Stone Age. And how many of the 58,000 men on the wall died in those eight years? How many civilians all over SEA died? Now many Vietnamese military, South and North, died?
PS - my very liberal college professor uncle and godfather no longer talks about Vietnam with me any more. What a DEAL!!
Since George W. Bush was very young at the time, it is difficult to BLAME the Vietnam War on him.
So why even bother talking about it? /sarcasm.
