America's reluctance to engage in Vietnam stemmed from its broader Cold War strategy, which aimed to contain the spread of communism.

Additionally, growing anti-war sentiment, fueled by media coverage of the conflict's brutality and a lack of clear objectives, further eroded public support. The combination of these factors contributed to a widespread desire to avoid deep involvement in Vietnam.
