President Nixon assures the American people that he is taking all necessary measures to push towards peace and end the Vietnam War. He does not advocate withdrawing troops but instead negotiating peace. The President remains sympathetic to the American call for peace but pushes forward with steadfast intention to end the war and ensure stability in South Vietnam.
November 3rd, 1969

my dad was apart of the vietnam war. I just heard him talk about what he went through. This war made history. It just a huge tragedy. I can't people how many people died in this war. Northern part of Vietnam won and South Vietnam lost. This is insane. It was a very huge mess. Thank God for freedom my parents escape just for the freedom that they have now. sadly, my uncle didn't get sponsor here. it's always about money to get to have someone to come to live in the United States. the land of the free

At the time, Nixon was sometimes called “The most hated man in America”. Even the people who voted for him disliked him; they voted for him because they could not accept the truth about Vietnam that George McGovern was voicing. But to be fair, I have to point out that he did not make the mess, he inherited it. His goal in Vietnam - though not stated - was to establish what was called at the time “a decent interval”. That is, make South Vietnam strong enough to survive a year or two after the US pulled out. I thought that was immoral - and still do - but believe that is what most Americans wanted, even though they would have denied it if asked.

Nixon had inside connections to keep the war raging until he was elected. Peace, or a decent interval, was never on his mind.

He inherited the war but his cronies pushed to keep the war going on during the 1968 election so that he could use the issue to get elected. He had a thousand opportunities to end it and he eventually did end it but that was after he escalated the war and unleashed the beast on Cambodia and Laos in the process. Vietnam and Watergate turned him from an average president into a pretty bad president.

President Nixon was elected to end the Democratic war in Vietnam. That is exactly what he did. Just another reason, that President Nixon is one of the greatest presidents of all time.

Had it not been for Nixon's Drug War, the worst social experiment since slavery, and a good argument can be made it was actually worse, I would agree with your assessment of Nixon. Had Nixon stayed true to core conservative values; less government, more freedom, and created a legal framework to manufacture, sell, distribute and use prohibited substances of the time; mainly marijuana and LSD (as cocaine and heroin were yet to be the problem they present today), the more than a trillion dollars spent fighting the drug war since and the trillion dollars spent by Americans buying drugs, it is the height of folly to believe America, if not he world, wouldn't be better off under a regulated drug market. In the early and mid 2000s, I met and addressed many organizations (Rotary, retired police and the like, mostly conservative) on the merits of repealing drug prohibition. And I will admit to not changing many minds but those I did, usually came at the end of my remarks, with me smiling and saying: "If we fuck it up, we can always give it back to the cartels." Perhaps the mind most memorable was a noted, retired 2-star Air Force general. I was 19 and a sophomore in college at the time of this address (and in the Air Force ROTC program and had qualified, initially, for pilot training), and had a front-row seat for all that was going on at my college - Ohio State - and acutely aware of happenings at other universities. I support peaceful protest but abhor violence, as it is mostly for cowards. I was conservative then and have remained so since. And as a veteran, I'm beyond sad that MDMA has yet to be approved by the FDA. MDMA has shown repeatedly throughout many rigorous clinical trials to greatly benefit those with PTSD resistant to conventional drug therapy. If our representatives truly want to thank us for our service, and I do believe the sentiment is genuine, fast-tracking MDMA through the FDA and to veterans in need would be a good way.

Nixon is a complicated figure in American History, he could've been a great president but he threw it away because of his paranioa, and that makes him a somewhat tragic figure
