America's reluctance to engage in Vietnam stemmed from its broader Cold War strategy, which aimed to contain the spread of communism. Many Americans were initially skeptical about the conflict's relevance to U.S. security and the potential for a protracted, costly war. 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.
