Same thing that is happening in Korea. Same thing that is happening in Iraq. Same thing that is happening in Afghanistan. American leaders had many reasons to go into these countries.

One reason why the United States involved itself in the Vietnam War was to protect South Vietnam from North Vietnam. This act some would agree was strictly humanitarian. In hind sight, many will say that it did not matter if we went in to protect the South. When we left the country in 1975 and the North Vietnamese infiltrated the South and took it over again.

The Vietnam War was mainly a political war, run by the politician's, not the War Department.
