Nixon was the one who helped us win the Vietnam War (which was then lost by the RATs in Congress). Had he been in office rather than LBJ, the Vietnam War might be remembered differently today.

Exactly. Most people do not remember that Vietnam fell to a full scale (conventional) North Vietnamese invasion. It did not fall to the Vietcong guerrillas who (by 1971) were a spent force. The US Military was uniquely qualified to repel the NVA invasion (even using Airpower alone), but sat on their hands (thanks to Congress).
