Vietnam War Pace Slowing Under Nixon
The Vietnam war pace has declined during Nixon's first two years, with combat burden on South Vietnam remaining heavy. Security in rural areas improves and some economic indicators hint at better times. Nixon aims to Vietnamize the war and shift combat to Saigon, with U.S. troop withdrawals starting in 1969 and a reduced U.S. ground role by mid 1971. Critics like W Averell Harriman challenge the program.
