Why the US involvement in the Vietnam War lengthened can be sparated into four categories: Political, Financial, Advisory and Military.

Political - Communism vs Capitalism, Cold War, Domino Theory, Truman Doctrine, Changing President, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Influence of public - Korean War, Ho Chi Minh helping.

Financial - Financial air to the French - first stage of involvement.

Advisory - Sending in advisors - Vietcong (figures), Strategic Hamlets

Military - Korean war (slow involvement), gulf of Tonkin (g) and Pleiku, Operation Rolling Thunder.
