No!
1. Nixon ran for president on the "getting out of Vietnam" ticket. He won the election.
2. Now, as president he intended on keeping his word.
3. He KNEW the North Vietnamese were & would continue to be persistent in their quest to conquer the South.
4. Keeping his word, he planned and executed his objective of "turning the war over to the South Vietnamese"...Vietnamization.
5. To "help" the South Viets combat their foe when the US redeployed from RVN (Republic of South Vietnam) Nixon conducted the following military campaigns; Invasion of Cambodia 1970, Invasion of Laos 1971, and Operation Linebacker & Linebacker II (air campaigns conducted by the US Air Force and air units from the US Navy against North Vietnam).
6. With "Vietnamization" in place, the American POWs returned, the US redeployed home.
7. The US knew the NVA (North Viet Army) would come sooner or later; they came in 1975, but the US ensured it wouldn't spend any more blood than it already had by being there when they did come. If the South couldn't defend themselves by then, then they never would. There was one little glitch to the whole thing though...Watergate removed Nixon (the only ally RVN had) and Congress cut of the MONIES (Funds) needed to support the South's war against the advancing NVA. It was somewhat of a dirty trick, with funds cut off the South ran out of tank and aircraft fuel and their artillery had NO SHELLS left to fire at the approaching NVA. Their military collapsed and with no President Nixon to help them, the South surrendered on 30 April 1975.

What did Harold Holt do for Australia?
Initially, Harold Holt was popular with Australians, being an easy-going and affable Prime Minister.He sought closer ties with the United States, and this led to Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War. His popularity quickly waned with Australia's increasing involvement in the Vietnam War and Holt's seemingly indiscriminate following of US policies, regardless of their relevance to Australians. He was noted for that most unfortunate saying, "All the way with LBJ", referring to American President Lyndon Baines Johnson, and which signalled Australia's involvement in a war which had nothing to do with the country.
What was Lyndon Johnson's purpose for involvement in the Vietnam war?
Johnson's purpose for involving the U.S. in Vietnam was to attempt to halt the spread of Communism. Communism was quickly spreading, from the then U.S.S.R., to China and showed NO signs of slowing in its popularity amongst Asian countries (especially the rural poorer countries) like Vietnam.
