Short answer: President Harry Truman hated communism far more than roosevelt. His idea of containment was to stop communism spreading further. The implications were that it could cause a nuclear full scale war, as both superpowers had weapons strong enough to nuke each other several times over. Containment failed to win over the hearts of the american public when the americans couldnt handle Vietnam. They called an action not a war. It caused outcry and devestation in both america and vietnam. Protests all over the street and many were killed. A popular one was : Hey hey LBJ, how many kids have you killed today? The war has many horrifying images such as the My Lai massacre. There were other wars too. Childrens bodies burned by napalm and forest destroyed by agent orange.
