Nixon's Deceptive Vietnam War Strategy

Nixon literally scammed the entire country with his secret plan to end the Vietnam War.

He got elected promising peace with honor, but his actual move was Vietnamization, which was just code

for giving the South Vietnamese army guns and saying good luck so Americans could dip.

While he was preaching peace, he was secretly bombing Cambodia and Laos to cut

off supply lines. It backfired completely. The draft was dragging in twenty-three-year-olds by the millions,

and the government tried winning hearts and minds by forcing villagers into barbed-wire camps.

After spending billions to fight an enemy they couldn't see, the US realized you can't buy loyalty

with bombs.
