Quite apart from throwing suspicion upon the competence of U.S. and South Vietnamese leaders to assess North Vietnamese war-making capacity, the Tet Offensive in the Vietnam War had this significant effect: it convinced numerous leaders and observers in the West that the Vietnam War was far from over. With war protests already growing in the United States yet now increasing, the effect of the Tet Offensive, despite that it was a military defeat, amounted to a diplomatic-political "win" for North Vietnam.
The first American military casualties in Vietnam happened in 1959, and troop built-up continued to a peak in late 1968, then declined until full withdrawal of all U.S. military in April, 1973. The North Vietnamese forces captured the South Vietnamese capital two years later.
Three important American military leaders in the past were Benedict Arnold, William Alexander, and Charles Lee.

Not knowing where they were. Just "all of a sudden end up fighting them."
The French were in control of the region, and the rebels (north vietnamese) were winning against the French, so the US sent troops into Vietnam in order to help the French. Later in the War the US noticed that it was fighting a war by itself. After 3.5 million dead the US left Vietnam since the American population voted against the long war (due to television of dead Americans), even though the US was going to win the war within a few months to a year, with massive troop advance and US funding. Today Vietnam is a poor 3rd world country, no better than how the US military left it.

they were very bad and there was so many desperate people. The government embarked on a mass campaign of collectivization of farms and factories. This caused an economic collapse and resulted in triple-digit inflation. Reconstruction of the war-ravaged country was slow, and serious humanitarian and economic problems confronted the communist regime. Millions of people fled the country in crudely built boats, creating an international humanitarian crisis.[30][31] In 1978, the Vietnamese army invaded Cambodia (sparking the Cambodian-Vietnamese War) to remove from power the Khmer Rouge-who had been razing Vietnamese border villages and massacring the inhabitants,[32] installing a regime whose leaders rule until 1989.[33] This action worsened relations with China, which launched a brief incursion into northern Vietnam (the Sino-Vietnamese War) in 1979.[34] This conflict caused Vietnam to rely even more heavily on Soviet economic and military aid.
Many leaders were important in WWII, but a few that were key are: Eisenhower, Montgomery, Kesselring, Rummel, and Stalin.
