WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the diplomat with the thick glasses and gravelly voice who dominated foreign policy as the United States extricated itself from Vietnam and broke down barriers with China, died Wednesday, his consulting firm said. He was 100.
With his gruff yet commanding presence and behind-the-scenes manipulation of power, Kissinger exerted uncommon influence on global affairs under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, earning both vilification and the Nobel Peace Prize. Decades later, his name still provoked impassioned debate over foreign policy landmarks long past.
Kissinger’s power grew during the turmoil of Watergate, when the politically attuned diplomat assumed a role akin to co-president to the weakened Nixon.

Understood, but I became a fan when the “success” of the Paris Peace Talks got my orders cancelled, so I will be thankful for that, as life would have gone in an entirely different direction….but then again any number of decisions could have affected our lives for decades to come.

1st Lt Padre Dave Poedel That was good for you. All of our pre mission briefings started with status of Paris Peace Talks and what we could or couldn't do today based on them.
