The objective of the USA, and it's allies, in South Vietnam (from 1945 to 1975) was to try and keep the country free and independent, as they did in South Korea from 1950 to the present. Unfortunately, the government of South Vietnam was corrupt and incapable of defending themselves, so they fell in 1975 after a 55 day invasion by North Vietnam. It's not possible to keep a country free and independent if it can't, or will not, fight to defend themselves.
