Why did president Johnson believe that it was important for the United states to win in Vietnam?

The United States had been involved in Vietnam since the 1950's and was part of the philosophy that communism must be contained in Southeast Asia. Kennedy had decided before his death he was going to look for a method to get out of Vietnam, but LBJ was from the "old school " war hawk philosophy of containment so he expanded the war and believed that the United States had to win to stop communism.

What president decided to take troops out of Vietnam?
I believe it was Richard Nixon in 1973 who began pulling out troops out of VietNam but the final pullout of American troops was in March of 1975. So between 1973 and 1975 we still had soldiers and possibly missions going on in VietNam. I myself am a veteran who served from 1973 to 1976 although I never went into VietNam, I feel justified in being recognized as a VietNam era veteran. Am I wrong in thinking that way ?? This I ask to those who went into VietNam?!?!? Please give me your comments

Why did president Johnson believe that it was important for the US to in in Vietnam?
We had been in Vietnam since Eisenhower and JFK had sent in advisors. The government policy was the containment of communism and Vietnam was part of that policy because it feared the the Chinese communist were spreading through Southeast Asia. Johnson was part of the containment thinking and when the Gulf of Tonkin incident happened it drew the US more directly into the war and he began to draft more and more men. Nixon expanded the war into Laos and before he was elected had stopped a peace treaty. It was to his advantage to have the war.
