Yes.

Principally because the US Military and Government misunderstood the wider implications of pan-Indochinese communism and assumed that the South Vietnamese population could be convinced to resist this trend. They ignored the fact that the vast majority of South Vietnamese were already sympathetic to the cause of pan-Indochinese communism and that many were actively involved in bringing it about. This failure led to the belief that a limited war in South Vietnam was a winnable proposition.

Note that despite US Military intervention ALL of Indochina did in fact become communist.
