Nixon escalated troop involvement and secretly bombed Laos and Cambodia during the Vietnam war. His presidency was from 1968-1974. Your point that Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire is subjective, not historical fact. More lives were lost in Vietnam under Nixon than Johnson, according to your "facts" above.
Nice try with the Rethuglican talking points.
