He stuffed up the South Vietnamese. Nixon had used "Operation Linebacker", bombing Hanoi and Haiphong and forcing the North Vietnamese to negotiate to end their 1972 invasion of South Vietnam.
At the time the South Vietnamese ARVN Forces were fighting back very successfully and starting to drive the NVA back.
One of the North Vietnamese points to the cease fire was being able to leave their NVA Forces in South Vietnam and retain the Territory they had occupied.
Kissinger agreed to this point. This would prove to be disastrous in the future. By letting the NVA keep Forces in South Vietnam,the NVA gained a major advantage for their 1975 invasion of South Vietnam.
The South Vietnamese wanted The NVA Forces to withdraw from South Vietnam back north of the DMZ.
Kissinger disregarded the demands of the South Vietnamese and assured them that they should agree to the terms of the cease fire.
In 1975 Kissinger should have advised Ford to keep supplying the South Vietnamese with ammunition. The South Vietnamese would have stood a very good chance of countering the NVA invasion.
If the South Vietnamese had been supplied, they could have held on and stopped the NVA. There wouldn't have been another invasion attempt due to the spilt of China and the USSR, North Vietnam would now have had a hostile China on it's Northern border.
