Assuming that you mean Korea and Vietnam respectively, US foreign policy was dominated by two political theories: the Containment Policy and the Domino Theory, The first one, formulated in the late Forties after the Communist takeover of China and a number of East European countries, said that Communism should be contained in the territories it now controlled and that any effort to expand them further should be forcibly resisted. The second held that if one country in Asia would further fall to Communism, all other countries in the region would fall to it like so many Domino's.

This policy therefore logically led first to the Korean War and later to the Vietnam War. The first one was succesful, the second one was not. On the other hand, the Domino Theory was proven wrong.
