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.

What do you mean by fighting it "properly"? 1. Politicians run America; without them who would? 2. "Properly?" Do you mean fight Vietnam WITHOUT restrictions...atomic bombs? Invading NORTH Vietnam?
