In this episode, Sean and James explore President Nixon’s escalating struggle to achieve “peace with honor” through further Vietnamization, secret diplomacy, and expanded military operations. Key topics include the exposure of the My Lai Massacre, the improving yet strained condition of South Vietnam’s military, Henry Kissinger’s failed secret talks, and the controversial U.S. and ARVN invasion of Cambodia—an operation that dealt temporary blows to Communist forces but triggered massive protests at home, including the deadly Kent State shootings. The invasion marked a turning point, widening the war and intensifying domestic division, while yielding limited long-term strategic gains.
