And, Richard M. Nixon.
"Additionally, the only other contemporary presidents to command HOT wars -- Truman and LBJ
And, Richard M. Nixon."
To voters, Vietnam was LBJ's war; Nixon was elected to end the War (honorably if possible).
Actually, I believe you and I agree: The President has been carrying the world on his soldiers for 5 years now; it's time we (Congress and voters) give him some help!!
