Probably the biggest argument was that it was a civil war, and the US should stay out of it. It wasn't a civil war. A civil war is ONE NATION fighting against itself; the Viet War consisted of TWO NATIONS fighting each other. Just like WWI, WWII, etc. were.

∙ 14y agoThe argument wasn't much different than it is today. Only the reason has changed. In the Vietnam War it was to stop communist aggression and by doing so the world would be saved. Today it is to stop terrorism to save the world. There will always be those who feel that the way to solve any problem is through aggression and war.
