Nixon's Legacy

Nixon admitted on a televised interview that his "secret plan to end the Vietnam War" didn't exist. In fact, somewhere between one to two million people were killed, including thousands of US soldiers, as a result of his secret activities to expand the war to two other countries and increase the bombing of North Vietnam. Kissinger has said that most of the bombing campaigns had no point.
