"Was gonna read, but no connection?"
Nixon and Agnew (remember him as VP?) were too busy making political deals to worry about the war.
I've read documents that Nixon used Viet Nam as a baragaing chip to get the US into China.
You can't win when the Commander-in-Chief lays blame on everyone else.
Nixon cried the Liberal media and Congress tied his hands.
Odd how President Bush has the Liberal media and Congres against him yet he does get the job done.

There apparently was some change in the war between the Johnson adminstration and the Nixon administration. Please correct me if I'm wrong on some stuff. Johnson did the worst micro-managing of the air strike packages. Then towards the end, the North waited until Nixon resigned before its final offensive to the South. If Nixon was still in office at the time, he would have darkened the skies over Hanoi with B52's, using the reasoning that the treaty had been broken.

"ALL GAVE SOME ... SOME GAVE ALL"
I thought the words after these were a link, they were in RED?
Was I mistaken?
If so, I was wrong in the link reply.
