There were TWO hot battles of the cold war. Korea and Vietnam. Korea was a peninsula and easily isolated by the US Navy. Vietnam was NOT a peninsula and could not be isolated from communist re-supply of men and material: Unless; the war was enlarged to include other countries (Laos and Cambodia); and if the US was willing to risk a confrontation with one or more of the Communist Superpowers (Soviets or Red China). Red China had entered the Korean War against the US/Allies because the US/Allies had invaded North Korea. The US did NOT want a repeat of the Korean War. Therefore, we had to end it; by leaving.
