Reagan beat LBJ. Don't anyone dare claim this is a left-wing forum again.
Well, the Vietnam war matters to people, you know.
Because diehard pacifist Reagan would never have got us into this mess, amirite? 
Because that diehard pacifist didn't try to bomb the living hell out of northern Viet Nam for purely political reasons. It was a geopolitical backwater whose only purpose to make LBJ look tough so he could pass his domestic agenda.
Despite all his tough talk, Reagan knew when to call it quits (Lebanon). For the record, I gave 2 stars to both but I'd rather vote for a guy willing to talk to the Soviets than the war criminal who should have been hung.
