What was the US public opinion of the Vietnam war after 1960?
US involvement in the Vietnam War extended from the fear of communism held by the population. Being fearful that a spread in communism was occurring and that Vietnam was the first in a domino effect, the American public supported US intervention to contain the threat of communism. Once initiated, it was realized that there were many American lives being lost without a necessity to have been lost. A major event that turned public opinion against the war was the Tet Offensive, and seeing the carnage through media sources on the battlefield.
