“Then ... they lost interest (”War is hard ... “) and bailed, started blaming Nixon and back-biting our troops & CICh until Congress cut funding.”
I WAS around and always heard Johnson and McNamara blamed,not Nixon.
.
I have only heard Liberals blame Nixon, they love to call it “Nixon’s War” to deflect that their guy LBJ was in charge and was a total failure.
It was LBJ’s war, Nixon just did what he could with what he was handed and considering what he was handed he did as well as can be expected.
