We fought over the way the government in Vietnam was being run. They had communism which means if someone needed something in Vietnam like food or money, it was given to them. But we wanted them to have democracy, which means the exact opposite, if we wanted something, we would have to earn it. If we wanted $10, we would have to work to earn the money. So we fought with Vietnam just because we wanted them to have democracy.
P.S. We're mean!
Plenty of US Servicemen of Irish descent fought in the war, but Ireland did not fight in the Vietnam War.

The nation of Vietnam came into existence in 1975 (on paper in 1976). So are you asking about that Vietnam or the Vietnam War? There was no nation called "Vietnam" during the Vietnam War.
