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.
