- (Vietnam: A Television History series, Part 12) The Vietnam War ended with South Vietnam's surrender, the political ruin of Nixon, and an ignominious return home for many American soldiers. With the North Vietnamese spring offensive of 1975, the South Vietnamese army collapsed, falling back to Saigon and culminating with the memorable exodus of the remaining Americans, by helicopter from the roof of the embassy. For the first time, American soldiers returned home to ignominy rather than admiration. To further challenge the public faith, Watergate destroyed the respect of many for the Presidency itself.
