A strong reluctance to become involved in future wars.
The Vietnam war. Or the Resistance War Against America.
1969-1975
The communists conquered the Republic of South Vietnam on 30 April 1975.
Only North Vietnam fought against America since the Americans had sided with North Vietnam at the time. The war involved with America began in 1954 and ended January of 1975. It extended at least 21 years, give or take.
The US began reducing Vietnam troop strength in late 1971, and all U.S. troops were out of Vietnam by April 25, 1973. When Saigon fell to North Vietnam communist soldiers in 1975, America had been out of the war for two years.

Time. The passage of time has helped America heal from the Vietnam War, which ended for the USA in 1975.
The first Us ambassador to Vietnam after 1975 was Pete Peterson. He was appointed in 1997. For over 20 years since 1975, there was no US Ambassador to Vietnam.
Vietnam was at war with France before the US intervened in the sixties. In fact, they defeated the French in 1956 and became independent, but divided into North Vietnam and South Vietnam. The Vietnam war the US was in was the result of the North and their communist sympathizers in the South (the Viet Cong) trying to unite the country under communism. When the US pulled out in 1975, they were successful.
