President Richard Nixon Address to the Nation on Vietnam, May 14, 1969

[@joedech3825]

Foreign policy GOAT

[@JoyfulSaturn-cz2ui]

Colonel Robert "Abe" Abrams was the Brigade Commander over my Task Force in Iraq 2004-2005. To hear his father's name mentioned in 1969, now makes me feel old. But, Nixon was a very intelligent man.

The podium & microphones awesome

Brillant man.

6 years later we ran out while the NVA stormed in.

War of 1812. Powder River Indian War. Red Cloud's War. Formosa Expedition (Paiwan War). Second Samoan War. Korean War. Bay of Pigs Invasion…..and the Vietnam, another war in the long list of wars the American regime lost.

[@IronMan-if4ke]

We still lost the war there, in spite of his speech trying to justify staying in Vietnam.

[@starter47990]

Excellent speech. But he made too many concessions. And he telegraphed his military plans

[@elimaurer9491]

He was a phenomenal President - His integrity for the office was the purest of the televised 20th century leaders. He worked so hard for The People, and had deep respect and reverence for our country.

Sure - other than Watergate, yeah.

@@ArmyJames tell me, what do you believe the public's allegations were?

@@elimaurer9491 G. Gordon Liddy and Howard Hunt were caught breaking into the DNC HQ carrying listening devices (one might also call them “hearing devices”)….. AND WIGS. 🙄

[@ArmyJames]

@@elimaurer9491 This was a lot more than “allegations”. Five of Liddy's operatives were arrested inside the DNC offices on June 17, 1972. Liddy was convicted of burglary, conspiracy, and refusing to testify to the Senate committee investigating Watergate. He was duly convicted in a court of law and served nearly 52 months in federal prison.

@@johnh4434 The Vietnam war. Was won by Vietnam just as America defeated Britain in its war of independence, it truly won its independence from foreign rule in 1975 after defeating French and US imperialism . The US left Saigon in 1975 defeated.

[@robfrancis8690]

All politicos at the highest levels of political/financial government are ACTORS (clowns) They're professional liars, and yes, many of them play multiple roles upon the worlds stage... i.e. JFK, who is now playing the role of George H. W. Bush, or RFK who is now playing the role of Jimmy Carter... etc... It's all an ACT, and we're clowns if we think our political opinions matter....

[@brianusa1471]

Ridiculous speech

[@CmdrMic]

What exactly do you think was "ridiculous" about the speech?

[@robertlucyksr667]

Gradual escalation, what a stupid strategy, should have been air war and no boots on the ground.
