"Nixon kept the Vietnam War going for six long years."

So, among your other problems, you can't do simple math? The US was no longer at war in Vietnam when Nixon's second term began. Jan 1969 to Jan 1973 is four years, not six, you dope.

"Phoenix Program, Free Fire zones, Agent Orange, Napalm, my Lai, all those horrors were mainly done on Nixon's watch."

LOL. I just told you - Pheonix was kicked off on LBJ's watch and JFK began the use of agent orange. As for My Lai, that was also on LBJ's watch. Nixon's defense department prosecuted the case, you dope. And spare us the rest of your unsubstantiated, Kerrista talking points. "Free fire zone" is a simple military term and you have nothing but Kerry propaganda behind your vague assertion of atrocities connected with them. And napalm was a legitimate weapon by the Geneva conventions. You have no basis for claiming American atrocities associated with napalm, either.

PS: Apocalypse Now is a fictional movie, dummy, and McNamara worked for JFK and LBJ, not Nixon, so strategic mistakes he and his bosses made are irrelevant to a discussion of Nixon. As are all your JFK assassination conspiracy theories.
