What was the German first strategy?
"The Germany First Policy" was defeating Germany first. Churchill had been lobbying FDR for years trying to get the US into the war to save Britain from collapse (Churchill's "Britain stands alone" speech). Russia was holding it's own, but Britain was an island and on the verge of losing the war against Germany. After Pearl Harbor, the American people wanted to defeat Japan FIRST. Japan had attacked America...Germany did not. But thanks to Churchill's hard lobbying efforts, FDR had agreed to "save Europe first (read save Britain)", which was translated by the press and the American public into simply "defeating Germany first." The direct results of this "policy" was the sacrifice of the US servicemen (Army, Navy, Marine Corps) in the Philippines and outlying regions (amounting to the largest US surrenders in US history in 1942). They received no reinforcements, due to the "Germany first policy", and surrendered in the Pacific.

Did the UK support the US in the Vietnam war?
The UK had to be somewhat "kind" (nice) to the US during that time frame, as the US was a major power with US military forces stationed in the UK and Germany during the cold war. So it was a good idea to retain proper attitudes towards one another during those times. But, the Britain (UK) did believe the US should get out of Vietnam. Australia & New Zealand, on the other hand, lived in the sphere of Vietnam, thus they felt abit different about the war. Britain wanted full concentration in Europe (NATO) during the cold war; just as in WWII...Britain did not like...(or feared) the US would concentrate too much on Japan and not Germany (thus endangering the UK..."Britain stands alone..." etc.). Consequently, any actions deverting the US from the UK was felt strongly against.
