“Wallace’s foreign policy positions set him apart from the other candidates in the field. “If the Vietnam War was not winnable within 90 days of his taking office, Wallace pledged an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops. . . .
Wallace also called foreign-aid money ‘poured down a rat hole’ and demanded that European and Asian allies pay more for their defense.”[4] These stances were overshadowed by Wallace’s running mate, retired Air Force general Curtis LeMay, who implied he would use nuclear weapons to win the war.[5]”

Thanks!
Brings back other memories, as I later enlisted and became a Nuke Weapons Specialist and met Gen. Lemay (Ret), at VAFB, CA during the ‘72 “Olympic Arena”.
If the timeline seems tight, I graduated at 17 and enlisted a week later, in June of ‘71.
To this day, I believe Gen. Lemay was correct.
