Guerrilla war in South Vietnam '55; conventional war with North Vietnam '64.
There was no "Vietnam" during the Vietnam War. Communist NORTH Vietnam was attacking non-communist SOUTH Vietnam, and the US was trying to drive the communists out of South Vietnam...trying to stop communist aggression. It's called the Vietnam War because it's a lot easier to say, and less confusing...than to say "South Vietnam War" or "North Vietnam War", so some people go so far as to say the war in Southeast Asia instead.
To fight communism.
The NUMBER ONE reason for protesting the war was THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO VIETNAM (THE DRAFT!).
During Jefferson's presidency, did taxes go up or down?
To prevent them from conquering South Vietnam.
No- you did not get to choose, you had to go. If they said for you to go, you got to go but you had to be 18 or older. TRUST ME- I'M IN 6TH GRADE AND I JUST LEARNED ABOUT THE VIETNAM WAR!!
