Cold war.
The Cold War was certainly an excuse to enter the Viet Nam conflict since Russia had a great deal of armament being sold to China and used in that conflict.
However, it is believed that the United State's wanted to procure the Natural Resources of that country before Russia or China could.
Also the military/industrial complex wanted a military conflict to occur so they could produce and use their war machines. What is the use of having the fastest jet fighter if it is not being used? How do we prove our superiority without a war now and then?

What were the chances of a soldier getting killed in World War 2 and Vietnam war?
US Infantrymen experienced more combat in Vietnam due to the helicopter; which picked him up from one battle and inserted him into another firefight. After two battles, if he was needed in another ongoing skirmish, he'd be choppered into that one too. During WW2, when a GI was in battle, that would be his only one. Until they drove their Trucks, Half Tracks, or in MOST CASEs "Walked" (Marched) toward's their next battle. WW2 was a war in which GI's ADVANCED towards the enemy's capital (Berlin or Tokyo). Fight one battle, win it, then advance forward to the next one, until the war was over. The Vietnam War was fight over there, then go back and fight over here, then go back again and fight in that area. The Helicopter made the Vietnam War the most mobile war in military history.
