No no no.

The Right opposed intervention in WWII BEFORE Pearl Harbor, the American First Committee and all that.

In Vietnam, Nixon was elected to pull all troops out of Vietnam, which he did. He also by-and-large ended the war by 1973, with just financial support to the S. Vietnamese Gov’t after that point. A vindictive New Left pulled the plug on that. But in ‘68, the establishment Democrats were not anti-war.

Uh, no, Nixon was the one who got us out of Vietnam. You are correct, though, insofar as it was the LEFT that pulled funding from the AVRN three years later so that the Communists could overrun Saigon.
