I don't know how in the world that guy can claim, around 29:25, that our all volunteer military is the greatest ever. We just lost two wars, one in Afghanistan and one in Iraq because of lack of leadership, lack of initiative, and poorly trained troops. I realize this took place in 2010 but even back then most Americans understood that our military was well on the way to a humiliating defeat in both those theaters of operation. Our military is today at best a second or third rate power because of a total lack of vision, leadership, and institutional competence and We The People should not be shy about or afraid of saying that out loud.

Well said. Lived through the times of his height and low points, yet, no doubt he is a born politician, agreed or not, he built US-China relations no other did. History remember him of that. Thank you.

Undermining LBJ’s peace agreement with North Vietnam. That’s how I will remember Nixon.
