President Richard M. Nixon called it "Vietnamization" by training South Vietnamese troops to use U.S. weapons so that the American military could leave.
More American troops were coming home.
When President Nixon took office there was approximately 536,100 American troops in Vietnam. President Nixon immediately started reducing the number of troops in Vietnam.

President Eisenhower sent US troops to Vietnam in 1955, President Ford pulled out the last US troops in 1975.
I believe it was Richard Nixon in 1973 who began pulling out troops out of VietNam but the final pullout of American troops was in March of 1975. So between 1973 and 1975 we still had soldiers and possibly missions going on in VietNam. I myself am a veteran who served from 1973 to 1976 although I never went into VietNam, I feel justified in being recognized as a VietNam era veteran. Am I wrong in thinking that way ?? This I ask to those who went into VietNam?!?!? Please give me your comments
It was president Richard Nixon who finally pulled all U.S troops from Vietnam.
