Limited to the use of conventional weapons only; NO NUKES. Limited to fighting only in South Vietnam on the ground; Limited to bombing North Vietnam, but no ground fighting (no invasion). Korea was also a limited war. Limited conventional weapons only; NO NUKES. However, North Korea was invaded by ground forces; and Red China entered the war. Consequently, we didn't invade North VIETNAM for that war, because we didn't want a repeat of a Red Chinese entry into the war.
