By the time President Nixon resigned office on Aug. 9, 1974, the Vietnam War was all but won and the South Vietnamese were confident of securing a permanent victory.

If Nixon had done what he did to get the POWS back and peace treaty signed the week after he took office the war would have ended in 69

Nixon ran in 68' promising to end the draft. Instead he extended it in 71'

He finally pulled out of Vietnam in 73' with terms he could have got in 69'. A couple hundred thousand NVA were left in the South.

Amazingly, the war went on...

Imagine, what the US would have been like if the ComDems had not taken control?
