1972 Question

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

He wanted to do the right thing. A complete unconditional pullout of Vietnam. It would've been the right thing to do, and he was a great man, and best losing candidate ever.

best losing major party candidate then.

"how do you ask someone to be the last man to die for a mistake?"

To continue such a disaster that would've simply killed more, including people who never wanted to be there in the first place, for something that was a mistake from the beginning, would be a total crime.

but then do you hate Nixon? Since he did pull out in the end anyway.

Vietnam was LBJs mistake. Why don't you point the finger at your own party for that mistake?

you should know as well as anyone I totally blame LBJ. That doesn't change the fact McGovern was right and Nixon was continuing a mistake. I have a perfectly consistent view, LBJ was wrong, and McGovern was right. What I don't understand is the Republicans who hate both LBJ for starting it, and hate McGovern for wanting to end it.

I don't see what'd be wrong with the Soviets hitting the Chinese though, all it'd do is drain the resources of both and severely weaken the two Communist superpowers. We could've ended the Cold War much quicker with the weakened Soviet Union.
