The Cold War was characterized by a general fear of wide-spread Communist encroachment on democratic (or western allied) countries. Since the communist government of North Vietnam, supported by both China and the Soviet Union, was working to take over democratic South Vietnam, the general sentiment of international relations prompted a swift military halt to the movement. This would stop what some in the U.S. Government called a "Domino Effect," or one nation after another falling to Communism.
Thus, the sentiment of the Cold War brought about the perceived need for military intervention in Vietnam.
