Best Answer

Although Vietnam was part of the lives of presidents Eisenhower & Kennedy, the war dominated the lives of Commander in Chief's LBJ & Nixon. Watergate effectively eliminated Nixon from the position of C & C (Commander in Chief), and when he left office (resigned) there was NO ONE remaining to defend South Vietnam...and Congress immediately went after the Vietnam War...by completely cutting off any further funding to South Vietnam...with no shells for their artillery, no fuel for their tanks, and other accouterments of war, the south quickly fell to the northern invaders.
