let's see....
Vietnam War (official dates) Feb 28, 1961 to May 07, 1975
Some dates of interest:
1/30/68: Tet Offensive
3/16/68 My Lai Massacare
3/31/68 temporary bombing halt over the notrh
3/70 increased US involvement in Laos and Cambodia
4/70 Draft law changet; ending all occupational and most paternity deferments
4/30/70 Nixon sends troops into Cambodia
July '71 Nixon: "Setting a firm date for withdrawl would serve the enemy's purpose, not our own". (editorial remark: Sound familiar?)
11/12/71 45,000 troops to be withdrawn
The list is long; the above only a few events, and shows that 1968 was no where near the end of the conflict.
