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...?

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.

I'm still waiting for you to explain your "point of strength" comment.
