Answer 1

You need to see the DVD of "The Ten Thousand Day War", by Ken Burns.  

It should give you a better understanding of "how" &"why" US Forces were in Viet Nam.

Answer 2

Because the napalm went on non army people

Answer 3

By commercializing it for political monetary gains.

Answer 4

When the French tossed us that 'hot potato' the very that fact that they bailed-out emboldened the North Vietnamese.

And - can't a parallel of sorts be drawn between what we 'cought' over there in the Far East and that torrid spud we're juggling now in the Middle East?

Answer 5

1) The US stimulated the S.VN economy with money, but it was a dollar-based economy, not a real stable one. When the US left, that took away the jobs and the money, leaving the economy out of balance. Shortly after, N.VN took over.

2) The US lost many lives, but Vietnam as a whole lost more than 10 times the US amount.

3) In the agreement to leave VN, the US (Nixon) promised to help with the rebuilding of the country, as they did with Japan and Germany. Never happened.

4) Agent Orange is still an issue of denial with the US government (damaging chemical warfare on VN countryside and people)

5) US coordinated the assassination of the S.VN president when they became unhappy with him during the war. Things became worse with their handpicked replacement

Answer 6

If the U.S.A. had minded their own business and stayed out of Viet Nam .. they could have had their election.. the communists would have won , we wouldn't have lost 50,000 American soldier, and the Vietnamese wouldn't have had a war  torn country and lost so many lives over 20 years.

It was our fear of Communism, that made us go against Ho Chi Minh. The same man who helped us by saving our downed pilots in world war 2 China. at the risk of his own life .

The French had the sense to finally realize they were fighting an enemy they could not beat .They decided to go home and spend their money on rebuilding their war torn country.

  PBS.. put out a 13 hour film series on the Viet Nam War ... you can find it in many libraries.

Answer 7

It was never actually declared to be a war.  Vietnam "conflict" they call it.
