It could be argued that LBJ accomplished the most, if a negative way is construed to mean "accomplished." President Johnson brought North Vietnam & the US into direct open warfare in 1964. Prior to that time, the Vietnam War was only a guerrilla war restricted to South Vietnam.

Little argument will be made stating that Nixon accomplished the most in Vietnam. Nixon feared nothing and mounted the most devastating aerial attacks upon another nation in military history (Operations Linebacker & Linebacker II). Nixon also openly attacked "into" a foreign nation (twice); Cambodia in 1970 & and Laos in 1971, then got American POWs returned. He then declared victory and sent us home. Kind of hard to beat those accomplishments.
