The reason we left Vietnam when we did was because the beloved corrupt President Richard Nixon was in danger of loosing the election to peace loving George McGovern. McGovern's platform for election was that he would end the war. As the election grew near and McGovern's poll number's jump, Nixon panic switched his position and started the peace talk. Signed in Paris in 73 and the final 10 Marine left in 75. The famous helicopter evacuation that you feel is us leaving with our tails between our legs.
