To stop the spread of communism, as was successfully stopped at the 38th parallel in Korea in 1953. The preservation of the Republic of South Vietnam, from the aggressive Communist North Vietnam.

What are some Immoral reasons about the Vietnam war?

During the "COLD WAR"; the Vietnam War was immoral to most people...who believed that war was "immoral" to begin with. Example: During WWII, which was a "clear case" of self defense (the Pearl Harbor Attack), people in the US still protested US involvement in that war.
