Because of US Policy to fight communism.
American involvement in Vietnam can be seen as an extension of the Truman Doctrine, which aimed to contain communism globally. The U.S. believed that if Vietnam fell to communism, it would trigger a domino effect in Southeast Asia, threatening other nations. Consequently, the U.S. supported the South Vietnamese government against the communist North, viewing this as a necessary step to uphold the principles of the Truman Doctrine and prevent the spread of communism. This commitment ultimately escalated into a prolonged military engagement.
The full might of the US military minus nuclear weapons.
From the perspective of the United States, the Vietnam War was not considered a defensive war. The U.S. intervened in Vietnam to support the South Vietnamese government and prevent the spread of communism. The U.S. saw its involvement as part of a broader strategy to contain communism during the Cold War. However, from the perspective of North Vietnam, the war was seen as a defensive struggle against imperialism and for national liberation.
