The Truman administration increased American involvement in Vietnam primarily through its support for the French colonial efforts to regain control after World War II. In 1950, the U.S. began providing military and financial aid to France, viewing the conflict as part of the broader struggle against communism during the Cold War. Truman's commitment to the policy of containment laid the groundwork for deeper U.S. engagement in Vietnam, signaling a shift in American foreign policy towards direct involvement in Southeast Asia. This set the stage for subsequent administrations to escalate U.S. military presence and involvement in the region.

United States foreign policy in the 1950s and 1960s was heavily influenced by the Cold War, particularly the desire to contain communism. The U.S. increased its presence in Vietnam as part of the Domino Theory, which suggested that the fall of one country to communism could lead to the spread of communism throughout the region. This culminated in military involvement to support the South Vietnamese government against the communist North, reflecting a broader strategy of intervention to prevent the expansion of Soviet and communist influence globally.
The United States' involvement in Vietnam began in the late 1950s as part of its broader strategy to contain communism during the Cold War. Initially, the U.S. provided economic and military aid to the French colonial forces fighting against the Viet Minh, a communist-led nationalist group. After France's withdrawal in 1954, the U.S. supported the anti-communist government of South Vietnam, escalating its commitment with military advisors and support in the early 1960s. This involvement ultimately deepened, leading to full-scale military engagement following the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964.
After boot camp and AIT, they didn't really care anymore (that had been the hard part). Once they landed in Vietnam it did no good to complain about it, it would only cause problems with other GIs. The attitude was, "we're here, lets get it over with."
