LBJ led the war on and didn't have a clue how to end it, without losing. Americans don't like losing you know. Nixon was sick- he pro-longed the war for his own political gain by telling south vietnams president not to attend the peace conference. Few years later they agreed on the exact peace deal LBJ was going to present earlier. Thanks to his greed, thousands of americans died for nothing and 3 million vietnamese died, in addition to 2 million cambodians. Thanks Nixon!
