They were both wars against communism; its just Vietnam was a shooting war and the cold war was NOT a shooting war.

Example (analogy)-It would be like two men arguing in a bar (as an example) about something (which would be the cold war) and then going outside and having a fist fight...or worse ( this would be Vietnam) about the same argument.

The cold war was a "NON-SHOOTING WAR" between the free world and the communist world. Korea and Vietnam were "hot" battles (a shooting war) between the free world and the communists.

Some called this war "The Hot Battle of the Cold War". It was during the cold war era but not at all cold.
