If he hadn't, we'd still be fighting there, or at least as long as the cold war lasted (until 1990).
"Tricky Dick" to US civilians & "B52 Nixon" to some GIs in Vietnam. Of all the US presidents involved with the Viet War (Eisenhower, Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon, and Ford); it was Nixon who really did try to "...bomb them (N. Vietnam) back into the stone age" (a line coined by USAF GEN Curtis LeMay when discussing North Vietnam). Nixon had a temper, and spoke directly to the point (he was NOT politically correct), and he used the B52 when ever he wanted to drive home a point (to North Vietnam). The most intense "maximum effort" B52 bombings were carried out under Nixon's command (accompanied with corresponding B52 losses).
Sounds about right. Nixon opened up trade with Red China in the 1970s and Clinton opened trade with Vietnam in the 1990s. Note: North & South Vietnam no longer existed from 1975/76 to present.
False!! because i just got the answer from my teacher and got it right lol for real no lie its False though
Donell Nixon is 6 feet 1 inches tall. He weighs 185 pounds. He bats right and throws right.
Asking this question in the present tense is a bit confusing, as South Vietnam fell to North Vietnam in 1975, and they have been one country ever since. Was it right? That question was not answered to the satisfaction of everyone at the time, and it could still be debatable today. In my own family, some thought it was right, and some thought it was wrong. Personally, I believe an attempt to save South Vietnam was justified, but I would have sent only volunteers, advisers, Special Forces and the like, who would know the risks and choose to go there to help South Vietnam. I think it was a grave mistake to send large numbers of drafted teenagers to fight a war in which they had little understanding, as became the policy under President Johnson and continued under President Nixon.
President's Wilson (Allied intervention in Russia), Truman (Korea), Kennedy (Vietnam, Cuba), Johnson (Vietnam), Nixon (Vietnam), Ford (Mayaguez incident), and Reagan (Grenada). If one considers the U-2 incident to be a military action, you could include President Eisenhower.
A Vietnam visa will only help travelers who are visiting Vietnam. It is also worth remembering that Vietnam is divided. Check that the visa you have is for the right country, either North Vietnam or South Vietnam.
In 1974 Nixon resigned because of the Watergate Scandal.
This Conversation Is Ending Starting Right Now was created in 1998.
the doves favored an immediate peace in Vietnam and the hawks favored stronger military action in Vietnam - I got this right on my quiz :)
The longer secrecy dominated US actions in the war in Vietnam, the more leeway it seemed to give to the Nixon administration that it had the right to lie about the war. The details of the secret bombing of Cambodia was as follows:1. In the years of 1969-1970, 3600 B-52 bombing raids were conducted over Cambodia;2. The Defense Department falsified the air attack reports it furnished to the Senate Armed Services Committee; and3. The Nixon administration ended the campaign because it believed the bombing was a failure.
