Everyone knows there have been cases of history repeating itself. One huge notice I took is how President Obama is playing the withdraw card a lot. I don't know how old the other members on ATS are most likely non of us grew up during the Johnson and Nixon terms and the Vietnam war.
I have drawen some huge coincidences with these two eras in American history.
Even though the Vietnam war started in 1955 when President Eisenhower was in office. President Johnson was the first President to be protested for the war. Like President Bush after him they marched with signs, had catchy slogans and so on.
President Johnson canceled his reelection bid for Democrat nominee. Also President Nixon campaign with a promise to end the war. Even though a cease fire was sign; President Nixon then continued the bombing which resulted in the war continuing.
Now look at Nixon and how he promised peace, change and an end to the war.
Which resulted in him being elected President finally but then he continued the war Johnson left him.
What are your thoughts on this? I'm currently looking for sources and videos I can post.
