That’s 1975, evacuating the country during the fall of Saigon when the South was routed, not the end of American involvement in the war. The war ended in 73. War is messy long after hostilities come to a conclusion. Ask Cambodia what the cost of war is. Millions paid the price for it at the hands of Pol Pot. Should we blame that on Nixon, or perhaps LBJ, or America leaving them to their own fate because we failed to see it through to its conclusion, or because we simply never had a plan from the very beginning of LBJ’s need for a war record as President?

So you were wrong about...?

...got America out of Vietnam from a point of strength
That doesn't look too strong to me.
Not to mention, Nixon extended the war by interfering in the Paris Peace Accords, so that the Democratic president couldn't take credit for getting out of Vietnam. Sound familiar?

Pol Pot would've never taken over if the CIA hadn't overthrown the Cambodian government in 1969-70. So, Nixon.

This.
Don't confuse me with someone else, LBJ and Nixon were the two worst US presidents since the turn of the 20th century. Both were worse than either Carter, Bush II or Obama.
