You meant "invaded." Just so you'll know, North Vietnam was attacked, and consistently, commencing in 1964 by US Naval air units (A4 Skyhawks and F8 Crusaders mostly). In fact, during the course of the war, North Vietnam had more aerial bombs dropped on it, than all of Germany did by the US during WWII.
The US did not INVADE North Vietnam because it did not want a repeat of the Korean War.
When the US/UN invaded N. Korea during that war, Red China entered into it.
Vietnam would be different; no outside interference. Other than the US and allies of course.

Why did the US withdraw their troops from Vietnam?
The US was losing to North Vietnam as their troops were extremely skilled and in abundance. The deaths and casualties in the US army were exceeding greatly, and the Americans thought it was not worth stopping the communist aggression in the Far east as no one cared that much either. Also apparently, the people in south Vietnam didn't want to fight so the Americans didnt just want to fight from their side. basically, the main point is that NORTH VIETNAM TACTICS > US TACTICS and the deaths were just too much so they withdrew, leaving south Vietnam to be invaded by communists.
