If Nixon had done what he did to get the POWS back and peace treaty signed the week after he took office the war would have ended in 69

Nixon ran in 68' promising to end the draft. Instead he extended it in 71'

He finally pulled out of Vietnam in 73' with terms he could have got in 69'. A couple hundred thousand NVA were left in the South.

Amazingly, the war went on...

Nixon should have reduced Hanoi to ashes.

North left out the monkey wrench campaign by Nixon to sabotage the 68 peace talks.
