Nixon Resigned 40 Years Ago TodayI was on delayed enlistment waiting to ship off to Lackland AFB. You may be surprised to know that I wasn't a rabid Nixon-hater at the time. The guy actually saved my ass. Two years earlier - my draft lottery number was 21 and I had already taken my physical for the Army - Nixon ended the War in Vietnam. That's always the first thing I think about when I think of Richard Nixon.
