The war in Vietnam, the Korean War, World War 1, World War 2...were fought against Nations (countries). The United States is NOT at war with Iraq nor Afghanistan.
The US is at war with insurgents/terrorists (criminals that attacked New York City on 9/11); they just happen to be in the Iraq/Afghanistan regions.
The Soviets were fighting insurgents in Afghanistan. The US was fighting a nation with a standing army, air force, and navy.
Insurgents=Rebelling against the government/unlawful
No, because the US is not fighting the country of Afghanistan. The US was fighting the country of North Vietnam.
The US is not at war with any nation as of this date.
There were many more than just two, but Korea and Vietnam were the largest and most serious of the Cold War 'skirmishes."
That policy is called the 'containment policy'. It led to the US involvement in the Korean and Vietnam wars, among others.
he faught in many wars like vietnam
Well many wars dozens really. But the main ones were the Korean War, Vietnam War, the Soviet-Afghan war. There were many wars where the USSR and the USA didn't directly fight. There were the Arab Israeli conflicts where the US backed Israel and the Soviets backed the Arabs. The Arabs and the Israelis fought the first time when the nation of Israel was established, during the six day war and the Yom kippur war. Also there were many American CIA operations and US military intervention.
Korean war & the Vietnam war. There was also the Cold War. Also the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

The three wars that the cold war lead to was 1. Korean war 2. Vietnam war 3. the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union
The Korean War and the Vietnam War were both results of communist aggression. Both the Korean War and the Vietnam Wars were Cold War proxy wars, but to assume that they were the only two proxy wars is a very America-centric view. The Soviet-Afghan War is another one along with countless revolutions.
There are no relations between the two wars, but some of the major countries (such as the Soviet Union, China, U.S., etc) played important roles in both wars.
Both were fought between a communist north and a free south country. The Reds won the Vietnam War but lost (or broke even) during the Korean War.
The B-52 was America's "Parthian Shot", when we departed Vietnam. Nixon deployed Operations Linebacker and Linebacker II (the Christmas Bombings); then we commenced to depart.
We engaged communist forces in the Korean and Vietnam wars which also led to the downfall of the soviet union
French and Indian War, The American Revolution ,The Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Persian Gulf War, Iraq War, and Afghan War
Vietnam is currently at peace.
"Mutually Assured Destruction." This is why Korea and Vietnam had to be fought as "Limited Wars." Limited to the use of conventional weapons only.
Wars prior to Vietnam were ground taking wars (territorial gains). Vietnam was a body count war-a war of attrition.
