The involvement was to stop the spread of Communism into the whole of Southeast Asia. It failed to succeed in Vietnam but did win in the larger context. Praising the US might be a stretch, but certainly is should not be condemned for its efforts.

Are the pilots actions in The Cold Equations good actions or bad actions?

The Cold Equations is a famous Science Fiction short story by Tom Godwin. In it, the pilot of a rescue shuttle (operating under extremely tight constraints regarding fuel reserves, travel time, etc.) encounters a stowaway, and the entire story is about the how the people involved deal with this situation.Within the constraints specified by the story, "good" or "bad" is difficult to assess. His actions are necessary ones. He is as kind as he can responsibly be (and kinder than regulations require him to be ... let me rephrase that. He's not "at least as kind as the regulations require", he's "kinder than the regulations allow").Other authors have read the story and found fault with the underlying logic; some of them have published their own take on the situation, but in general the consensus is more "this situation should never have been allowed to happen in the first place", not "the pilot (rather than the shipping company, the government, society generally, etc.) did the wrong thing."


Who should take responsibility for the cold war?

The Cold War was the result of market forces. These market forces include abstract concepts such as fear, and tangible concepts such as level of industry, comparative advantage, and technological capabilities. If a government decides it wants to allocate more taxes than are necessary to defense spending, its morality and ethics may be called into question, but it is the responsibility of it's citizens to decide what tax revenue is used for what. The citizenry is responsible for government actions, no matter what model of society they exist under.
