Question

President Nixon sought to correct the public ill-will over Vietnam through all of these policies except:

A) the rehabilitation programs

B) an honorable withdrawal of American troops

C) an immediate withdrawal from Vietnam

D) Vietnamization

Answer 1

President Nixon sought to correct the public ill-will over Vietnam through all of these policies except "C) an immediate withdrawal from Vietnam," since he felt this would be detrimental to both the South Vietnamese and the US command structure in the region. 

Answer 2

Answer: C) an immediate withdrawal from Vietnam.

The first large force of U. S. military personnel that was sent to Vietnam was sent in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy. By 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson decided to escalate U. S. involvement of the war, instead of withdrawing.

This greatly increased the opposition to the war in the United States. The amount of U. S. casualties, their involvement in war crimes, and the length of the war turned the public against it. However, Nixon similarly did not order an immediate withdrawal. In the end, the war only officially ended in 1973, although fighting continued until 1975.
