Best Answer

The US was losing to North Vietnam as their troops were extremely skilled and in abundance. The deaths and casualties in the US Army were exceeding greatly, and the Americans thought it was not worth stopping the communist aggression in the Far east as no one cared that much either.

Also apparently, the people in South Vietnam didn't want to fight so the Americans didnt just want to fight from their side. basically, the main point is that NORTH VIETNAM TACTICS > US TACTICS and the deaths were just too much so they withdrew, leaving south Vietnam to be invaded by communists.
