Leaders during the Vietnam War

1. During the Vietnam War, Canada was officially non-belligerent under this patriarchal president, but while his son Justin was still a baby, it truly sold us $2.5 billion worth of goods and napalm.

2. Do you miss Saigon? After the war, Vietnam’s largest city was renamed for this Communist revolutionary who presided over North Vietnam from its 1945 secession until his 1969death.

3. Apparently emboldened by the Vietnam War, this particularly ruthless leader of the Khmer Rouge regime overthrew the Cambodian government and killed a quarter of the country’s population. So who is he to call the kettle black?

4. Since the nations held similar authoritarian philosophies, this recently deceased dictator led the only western country to cast support for North Vietnam.

5. “I cannot think of a greater tragedy for America than to get heavily involved now in an all-out war in any of those regions,” said this American President, about two months before sending military aid to the opposition.

6. Folk musician Bill Frederick is best remembered for a 1967 protest ditty, where in the chorus he asked, “Hey, hey, (the initials of this American President who had recently escalated involvement,) how many kids did you kill today?”

7. He was President of the United States when the fall of Saigon forced the war to end.
