"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).

President Nixon tried to stop The New York Times from publishing the Pentagon Papers in order to prevent the public from learning about the government's involvement and decisions in the Vietnam War, as the documents revealed classified information that could damage the reputation of the administration and affect public opinion. Nixon believed that the disclosure would undermine national security and his administration's credibility.
That would be President Richard Nixon, 1969 to 1973, who tried and failed to get the South Vietnamese to take over the fighting in South Vietnam from the Allied nations fighting there, especially the USA. In 1975, North Vietnam launched a 55 day invasion of South Vietnam and defeated the corrupt and incompetent nation that could never stand on it's own two feet. President Gerald Ford gave up on South Vietnam, feeling that the USA had done more than enough to try and keep the country free and independent.
