How did the United States get out of the Vietnam war?

Answer 1

The American public wasn't committed to the war. The United States being a fairly representative democracy, the politicians and generals had to find a way out. The Paris Peace Accords were signed in January 1973. These were the official terms for the United States getting out of the war in Vietnam. Before The Paris Peace Accords in 1973 US began something called "vietnamization". This was simply slowly removing troops from Vietnam and leaving South Viatnamese troops to fight the war. The Accords in 1973 were just an official way to end US involvement in Vietnam War.

Answer 2

From 1969 onwards, Example(s): If the 2/8 Mechanized Infantry (2nd Battalion 8th Mech Inf) were to redeploy; the battalion (unit) would stand down in a secure base area. GI's with less than 3 months left in the Army would return home with the colors (Regimental Flag). Men with more than 3 months left in country or the US Army (these get technical) would be transferred to another army unit still in country. If a GI had a tank MOS (Armor Crewman Military Occupational Specialty), and no more tank units were still in country (the tanks were handed over to the ARVN's) then he'd go to the next best thing that was a "tank", a Mechanized Infantry outfit, which was equipped with M-113's (APC/ACAV-Armored Personnel Carriers/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles). Then he'd finish out his 12 months with them. This would continue until every unit was re-deployed home.

Answer 3

By adding hi-tech warfare (jets, tanks, missiles, etc.) to an otherwise guerrilla war.
