The statement that correctly compares the involvement in the Vietnam War during different presidencies is:
**The number of troops at the end of Nixon's presidency was less than the number of troops at the beginning of his presidency.**
This is accurate because Nixon campaigned on the promise of reducing U.S. involvement in Vietnam and began a process known as "Vietnamization," which aimed to decrease the number of American troops in Vietnam while increasing South Vietnamese forces. Conversely, troop levels increased during Eisenhower's and Johnson's presidencies, particularly during Johnson's administration when the U.S. escalated its military involvement.
