Vietnam was about stopping communist aggression and the only benefit the US got out of it was: Experience (new and refined tanks, jets, artillery, body armor, etc.); a new adult age limit in the United States-dropped from age 21 to age 18; And an all-volunteer military.

The communist superpowers supported the north with war material. The US supported the south with men & material. Reason: Cold War.
We were at war with Vietnam because they disagreed with us about something.
The US entered because they signed a document saying that the will help with a war with communism.
When the US withdrew from Vietnam in 1975, it did nothing to repair Vietnam, on the principle that Vietnam was a member of the Soviet bloc, and their communist allies, the USSR and China, were the ones who were responsible for any needed international assistance to Vietnam. It is much easier, from a political viewpoint, for the US to help a defeated enemy, as it did with West Germany and Japan and Italy, following WW II, than it is to help a victorious enemy. After fighting so desperately to prevent communist North Vietnam from taking over South Vietnam, the US was not then going to help communist Vietnam to rebuild after the war. The communists won the war, they therefore could rebuild themselves. Since the end of the Cold War in 1990, relations with Vietnam have improved, but are still not very close. The US does not like to lose.
