Watergate
President Richard Nixon's plan with Vietnamization was to
encourage South Vietnamese to take more responsibility for the
war.
Nixon hoped that the U.S. would slowly withdraw from
Vietnam.
Because of this the Nixon administration said that South Vietnam
could be equipped and trained to defend themselves.
Unfortunately during training the main leader was also needed to
be in the battlefield. This caused a hold up in training.

in the befit of, or be subjected to discrimination under any

science classes were reserved for men.

careers, for pregnancy and parenting, and employment. Also women

unattractive and unfeminine.
