World War 1990: The Nixon Angle

We're working on a couple of 'all hands on deck' aerial vignettes for Nederlandse and wanted to drag Colonel Callum and his Aardvark drivers out from ANZACs. Flipping through ANZACs we realized we'd completely forgotten about the scene in which James Baker calls Richard Nixon up and asks him to lead a diplomatic delegation to Hanoi. 

Remarkable.

We'll be adding him to The Final Storm. Where should the negotiations take place? Beijing? I think Beijing. That opens up all kinds of opportunities.

Nixon was wronged.

Presidents Day Spectacular: Tricky Dick

Nixon was a victim of the Deep State, represented by Mark Felt in the FBI, pissed off that he wasn't tapped to replace Hoover, and Katy Graham at the WaPo, offended that Nixon had the temerity to succeed.

Nixon was a good president who passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, flipped China, ended the 73 War, and by the way, got us out of Vietnam.

Corruption? Please...

The same people who complain about Nixon's wiretaps and briefcases of cash voted for Barry and Hillary! twice.
