"Tricky Dick" to US civilians & "B52 Nixon" to some GIs in Vietnam. Of all the US presidents involved with the Viet War (Eisenhower, Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon, and Ford); it was Nixon who really did try to "...bomb them (N. Vietnam) back into the stone age" (a line coined by USAF GEN Curtis LeMay when discussing North Vietnam).
Nixon had a temper, and spoke directly to the point (he was NOT politically correct), and he used the B52 when ever he wanted to drive home a point (to North Vietnam).
The most intense "maximum effort" B52 bombings were carried out under Nixon's command (accompanied with corresponding B52 losses).
