Our fearless leaders (LBJ, tricky dickie) and assorted exploiters/warhawks told us that the evil communist N. Vietnamese were trying to destroy/take over good 'ol S. Vietnam.
That if we didn't kill the N. Vietnamese, communism would take over the world.
More gov't lies to make us afraid and be willing to sacrifice our finest young people in a jungle thousands of miles away.
Vietnam reunited after we left, a communist nation, but communism didn't take over.
In fact, there are far fewer communists after we lost that war than before.
