How did the fear of another Vietnam affect foreign policy?
After Vietnam, for the US Military & the Commander in Chief it was keep a low profile and don't provoke something that would require the deployment of US military forces. And if & when it became necessary to deploy military forces...do it quickly, cleanly, and don't tell anybody (censor the news) unless or until it is a successful campaign. That time came when President Reagan commenced "Operation Urgent Fury" in Grenada in 1983. The first use of offensive US military force since Vietnam and it was a success; but the news people complained about not knowing about it before hand...which is possibly why it was so successful. For some semi-factual entertainment on the campaign in Grenada see film: "Heartbreak Ridge" starring Clint Eastwood. This movie is about Operation Urgent Fury.
