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.

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?

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

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

we simply never had a plan from the very beginning

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.

America WAS OUT of country in 1973. Out and home. That was the residual citizens still in country from the embassy and supporting staff. AND, Nixon wasn’t even President in 1975. Gerald Ford was. The people scrambling to get on choppers and planes were the Vietnamese people loyal to America and who were left to their own fate, and if you’re going to put that on Nixon and not America on a whole who cried to get out, then you have no honestly whatsoever.
