While no war is a "good" war, World War 2 was a geo-politically "black and white" war in that it was viewed by most peoples within the allied nations as a clear-cut case of good versus evil. War is never the answer of choice, but sometimes, you must fight. While the Allies did have their bad points (Stalin perhaps being the largest) and the Axis did have a few redeeming factors, but one side truly was a monster. The Allies were for the most part the world's democracies and free nations, while almost every nation in the Axis was a brutal, ultra nationalist Dictatorship. Hitler had set his eyes upon Europe, and sought to exterminate an entire ethnicity.
A second reason is that American citizens for example saw the militarily aggressive nations of Japan and Germany as a direct threat to U.S. security. This was especially true for Japan after the attacks on the U.S. territories of Hawaii and Alaska. Germany had also brought a direct threat against U.S. interests by carrying out U-boat attacks against American shipping in the Atlantic, sometimes sinking vessels within sight of U.S. shores. After the United States joined the war the vast majority of American people saw the war as a necessary fight for survival.
The war in Vietnam on the other hand was a war of political ideology. Few Americans felt that North Vietnam ever posed any real threat to the United States or her borders. Many believed the U.S. government was needlessly sacrificing people's lives in a war that we should not have been involved with in the first place. The number of people opposed to the war steadily increased as time went on and as more and more lives were lost. The reasons for America's involvement in Vietnam were never as clearly defined in the collective conscienceness of the American public as was the necessity for U.S. involvement in World War 2.
