So there were two paths. The world got the more bellicose path.
There are two paths today. Don't tell me they're the same.

Well, here's the thing. Both Nixon and Johnson/Humphrey promised to end the war. Nixon, being the POS that he was, secretly torpedoed the Democratic plan. Then he went on with the war for 4 more years, escalated troops and bombing, and destroyed a few bonus countries.
So, NO!
I blame Nixon and those who failed to distinguish between him and Humphrey.

In 1968, frustrated opponents of the Vietnam War allowed (compulsive liar, demagogue, and far-right troll) Richard Nixon to defeat Vice President Hubert Humphrey for US President.
Nixon not only stepped up the genocide, he added another in Cambodia, and tacked on some coups in Latin America.
Beware of false equivalencies.
