<<I had actually forgotten that one. I'm not certain I want to thank you for reminding me. It's such a deeply sad portion of our national past and the deceptions were so many and so deep, that it's not even the slightest stretch to insist that Nixon's entire Vietnam "strategy" such that it was was based on deceptions. History seems to be forgetting, Nixon said he had a secret plan he would only unveil after his election. What he ran on. He had no secret plan at all! He just said that, like the right wing does today. Because there was no viable plan at that point, except just leaving, which is what we ended up doing. And how did we get out? Rhetorical: "The house stopped the money and they just cut and ran and as you well know, a terrible massacre ensued."
