… and not for the Vietnamese lives lost?

I don’t mean to sound callous when I say “them too.” Really, the costs of the war, in human terms, economic terms, political terms, and so forth on both sides that could have been avoided had it been brought to a negotiated end in ‘68 should earn Nixon the title of Worst President in History. He actually one-ups James Buchanan, because he didn’t just sit on his ass while the country moved to war, he actively worked to prolong a war to ensure his election to the presidency.
