President Nixon thought that U.S. forces should NOT abruptly withdraw from Vietnam because South Vietnam would not be able to survive without U.S. help.

President Richard Nixon faced a dilemma during the Vietnam War years. After the Tate Offensive, many Americans in the United States started to question US Army participation in Vietnam.
