It made sense at that time.
Problem was that this war dragged on for too long and due to geopolitical circumstances decisive victory turned out to be impossible.
America rightly left Vietnam due to pressure at home and generally horrifying nature of the war that could not be won.
Eventually it turned out the communism did not took over the world ( portably it never could ) while the conflicts continued elsewhere.
At the end what happened after N. Vietnamese took over?
Millions executed , disappeared.
While criticizing American policy during cold war , interesting question is what would happen if USA had been passive during whole cold war.
How world would look today , if lives would had been saved or worth living.
Shortly would world be better place.?
...not that im against criticism . I don't like the trendy ones.

Plus the lessons learned may have kept us out of other world conflicts.
Plus led to an all volunteer fighting force of men and women that serve today.
