it was a French colony and they pulled out when it got hot....so if they wouldn,t then why should we have gone in,to save the French pride!,,also under Wilson we couldn,t afford it..,he bankrupted us as labour always do,he also had other things on his mind which history will one day reveal.
'We' didn't, to be fair, and it was nothing to do with saving French pride, as they hadn't got any by then, as far as Vietnam was concerned - the USA were terrified of it becoming another Communist state (well, S. Vietnam) - this is as far as I'm aware, to be honest, as I'm only on episode 3, but the history of Vietnam before the USA got involved is fascinating as well.
