Look at your history books (or computers these days)...you'll notice troops trying to advance across their opponents trenches during WWI; trying to capture those trenches.
Look at WWII how allied armies sweep across enemy held territory in their advance towards the Axis (enemy) capital(s). Look how the allies sweep the Axis navies from the seas while continuing their advance the enemies heartland.
Look at Korea how the US/UN invaded the enemy's turf...North Korea! Unfortunately an event that widened the war by involving Red China.
Vietnam was different. No more invading the enemy's land (a lesson learned from the Korean War). No more advancing toward's the enemies heartland...Vietnam would be a different war; BODYCOUNTS!
Not territory.
Not being able to invade, nor fight to win by using nuclear weapons, nor occupy the HCM trail caused the frustrations of the Vietnam War.

What two factors led to US involvement in the Vietnam War?
The U.S. was attempting to keep Communism from spilling over from North Vietnam to South Vietnam (one of the other posters referenced the "Domino Theory," which suggested that if one country became Communist, another could become Communist, and so on and so forth, like toppling dominoes). We first got involved in the 50s by providing relatively small amounts of economic and military aid to the French, who were involved in fighting in Vietnam before we were. When the French failed and a Communist government in North Vietnam arose, Eisenhower sent "advisors" to South Vietnam to train their military to resist the North's. In the 60s, JFK sent Green Berets/special operations forces clandestinely into Vietnam to train counterinsurgency forces there. By the time JFK was assassinated, we had over 10,000 advisors ("advisors" generally equals "special forces") in Vietnam, and over 100 Americans had already been killed. In 1964, the Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred in waters adjacent to North Vietnam, where an American warship and a North Vietnamese vessel exchanged gunfire. There was controversy as to who shot first, but it eventually led to a push for Congress to approve the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which allowed for further U.S. military escalation into Vietnam. There was no formal declaration of war, and military forces just kept getting incrementally larger and larger until their peak in the late 60s.
How did Paul Simon avoid being sent to Vietnam?
Paul Simon avoided being sent to Vietnam by obtaining a student deferment while he was attending college. He was enrolled at Queens College in New York, which allowed him to defer military service. Additionally, Simon was later classified as 1-Y, which meant he was not fit for military service due to a medical condition. This combination of factors enabled him to remain in the U.S. during the Vietnam War.

What factors led to the success of the Reconquista?
The success of the Reconquista was influenced by several key factors, including the fragmentation of Muslim rule in Iberia, which allowed Christian kingdoms to capitalize on divisions. The rise of powerful military orders, such as the Knights Templar and the Order of Santiago, provided crucial military support and resources. Additionally, the increasing unity among Christian kingdoms, particularly after the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella, fostered coordinated efforts against Muslim territories. Finally, the involvement of the Catholic Church, which sanctioned the campaigns, provided spiritual motivation and legitimacy to the Reconquista efforts.
