Nixon, who you categorize as slimey, opened access to Red China and ended
the Viet Nam war, yet he is villified for trying to jack with the
Democrats. Oh well.

Maybe I was hallucinating, but I seem to recall our embassy staff being
hustled off a rooftop in a helicopter. Nixon had no choice but to end the
war.


That was something like two years after most of the troops had left,
peace accords had been signed, etc... except of course for the Marines
of the Embassy Guards.
