If the goal was not to allow the Soviet backed Northern Vietnam to seize the US backed Southern Vietnam, it isn't true.

That happened a few years after US forces were withdrawn.

Militarily, the plan was to kill large numbers of enemy combatants and achieve a high ratio of Viet Cong/NVA military dead to American, which did happen, in the hopes that eventually the Viet Cong/NVA would run out of soldiers, which did not happen. Once it was realized that the Viet Cong/NVA would not run out of soldiers or give up any time soon, the government (LBJ/Democrats) were replaced with a new one (Nixon) who scaled down the fighting and eventually withdrew the troops.
