They were concerned because at the time, China was communist so (obviously) they were supporting the north of Vietnam. China could have been worried as America had been such a big force in WWII.

Human beings are not NORMALLY concerned about something, unless it INVOLVES them. When men began to get drafted into the military; they were now INVOLVED!

The US never invaded Vietnam.
He was more concerned about Laos than Vietnam. He apparently believed that that is where the trouble might start.
South Vietnam was considered an ally of the US.
The draft started before the US war in Vietnam. Your question is actually about when the USG started posting draftees to Vietnam. That would probably be in March 1966 when At Pres. Johnson announced a singificant build-up of US troop strength in March of that year. Prior to that, every announcement of further troop commitments included a statement that only volunteers were concerned.
US Military personnel were in Vietnam from 1955 thru 1975.
