Vietnam was a war of politics. Kennedy was drawn into this war not because the U.S. was in immediate danger, but because he was scared of communism. He was trying to keep the communist Chinese and Viet Cong from taking over the entirety of the small nation and threatening surrounding nations. It was to prevent the spread of communism basically. This was coined the “Domino Theory” and he sold it very well the public. Our president was supported early on by the American people at the time.
