In order to achieve this goal, he began a massive bombing campaign of North Vietnam, known as "Rolling Thunder," and deployed 500,000 American troops to Vietnam to provide military support to the South Vietnamese government.

Why did president Johnson believe that it was important for the US to in in Vietnam?
We had been in Vietnam since Eisenhower and JFK had sent in advisors. The government policy was the containment of communism and Vietnam was part of that policy because it feared the the Chinese communist were spreading through Southeast Asia. Johnson was part of the containment thinking and when the Gulf of Tonkin incident happened it drew the US more directly into the war and he began to draft more and more men. Nixon expanded the war into Laos and before he was elected had stopped a peace treaty. It was to his advantage to have the war.
