because, the main reason the US was in Vietnam was to help South Vietnam resist communism. we were there to train the South vietnamese to defend themselves and we felt they were ready to take over. obviously, we were wrong.

We also didn't want to sacrifice to many of our soldiers when we got atacked. -Lovey

AnswerCause of the strong anti-war movement back in the US; the fact that the war was costing a lot of money and American lives with seemingly no results (at least to the politicians in Washington); and the fact that the Vietnamese showed the resolve to keep fighting until they had all been wiped out (we killed them at about 20:1 for the entire war and they still kept going).

Why did president Kennedy withdraw support of diem in 1963 and how did the south vietnamese react?

President Kennedy withdrew support for South Vietnamese leader Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963 due to his increasingly unpopular and repressive regime, which failed to effectively combat the communist insurgency and alienated many South Vietnamese citizens, particularly through his persecution of Buddhists. The U.S. government recognized that continued support for Diem could undermine American interests in the region. In reaction, South Vietnamese military leaders, encouraged by the U.S. stance, staged a coup in November 1963, which resulted in Diem's assassination and further destabilized the country.
