The Fall of Saigon, which occurred on April 30, 1975, happened during the presidency of Gerald Ford. It marked the end of the Vietnam War.
To try and keep South Vietnam from falling to the Communists, and because the government of South Vietnam was too corrupt and incompetent to defend themselves. The government of South Vietnam was never able to defend themselves, and President Gerald R. Ford finally gave up on them in 1975. They soon fell to communist North Vietnam.
The USA, under President Gerald R. Ford, finally gave up on the incompetent and corrupt government of South Vietnam in 1975, and North Vietnam quickly and easily defeated South Vietnam in a few months.

Nixon had been elected to begin withdrawing US troops from Vietnam and to turn over more of the fighting to the South Vietnam government. In 1972, North Vietnam finally realized that the war was a stalemate. The two sides met and arranged a cease fire. In January of 1973 the Paris Accords went into effect. The US agreed to withdraw all its troops from Vietnam in 60 days. Congress had stopped funding the war effort. The North Vietnamese government agreed to release all prisoners, which they never did. Free elections were to be held in Vietnam. The President of South Vietnam considered the agreement between North Vietnam and the US as a sell out. But it allowed President Nixon to save face and bring the soldiers home. By 1975, after US troops had been pulled out of South Vietnam, the ARVN (Army of the Republic of South Vietnam) collapsed and the North Vietnamese moved into Saigon, ending the war and finalizing the take over of the South by the North.

People did want out of it; but the government was trying to figure out how to do it. They finally settled upon, "Peace with Honor" (leaving Vietnam with honor/not looking like the US got kicked out...but rather, well...like leaving with honor intact). This was finally accomplished...sort of...the US was still a bit clumsy at "leaving a sinking ship", but it was done.
