The point of view from the US and the rest of Asia was, we all knew it was "a communist thing"...the cold war. What could anyone do about the cold war? We had to live with it. When it came to the "shooting" part, during the Korean & Vietnam Wars, we had to live with it. When men started getting drafted to "participate" in it...then the riots and protests began.

Yes, Vietnam was at war. The United States involvement began under Eisenhower after the French pulled out of Southeast Asia. When JFK was elected he added 43,000 advisors into Vietnam, but it wasn't considered a war at this point. After his death LBJ began to draft men to fight the war and the United States was in full scale "police action " in Vietnam. It never was a declared war.
When the Vietnam War started, the world was in the grip of the Cold War. The United States was worried about the possible spread of Communism in Southeast Asia. We felt that we needed to act to prevent this.
