#Historians would also argue that the #Vietnam War served as a defining — if not redefining — moment in the history of U.S. party #politics. At the time, there was perhaps no bigger player in sculpting modern #conservatism than William F. Buckley, who in a 1968 column advocated the use of #NuclearBombs in Vietnam. In 1969, President Richard #Nixon nearly heeded that recommendation.
