The rest came under Nixon. If you study the Vietman war, you will find that it was a bipartisan war in all respects. Nixon had five years to win it and couldn't.

The war was NOT bipartisan. It was lost by poor leadership long before Nixon took office. Nixon never had a chance to win the war, his only option was to withdraw.

All wars may well be barbaric. But there are good reasons for some. I'm not sure whether we should have been there. But I know that once we were there we should have taken their heads off. Johnson was a poor leader, and as a result, 58,300 Americans lost their lives. To try to blame Nixon for it after the fact is not intellectually honest.
