Military aid to Viet Cong was not one of the Nixon Administration's Vietnam War policies

Explanation:

Many protests were staged and Nixon felt that aggressive Vietnamese would call US troops would call for a combat.

Hence Nixon made an open statement of disengaging the US troops to be sent to Vietnam and he also took care that southern Vietnam does not fall under the communist rule. Hence he followed the strategy of vietnamisation. He commanded all the US troops to evacuate from South Vietnam and gradually trained the Vietnamese soldiers with combat skills. He also insisted South Vietnam to take over the military responsibility and thus a war threat was efficiently handled by Nixon under his rule.
