Some U.S. leaders wanted to send troops to fight the Viet Cong to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia, adhering to the "Domino Theory" that suggested if one country fell to communism, neighboring countries would follow. They believed military intervention was necessary to support the South Vietnamese government and to assure allies of America's commitment to containing communism.
