3. It was the 60s
the weird thing is Nixon campaigned against the Vietnam War and claimed to have a secret plan to get us out. Then after he was elected it was another four years until it finally ended. SO much for his bullshit secret plan.

5. Nixon wasn't afraid to put battlefield images right
in his commercials.

It is risky, but it really hammers the point home to people what is at stake.

He did another commercial complaining about how we are "bogged down in an endless war with a fourth rate enemy"
