Vietnam is a provider of tin and rubber. The West felt French control would provide better access to those resources than Ho Chi Minh’s nationalist movement. Once the French leave, the US bolsters the puppet South Vietnamese government. It becomes South Vietnam is unstable and the US sends troops. That’s basically why.

Also some of the top military and establishment brass was probably dumb enough to believe in that Domino Theory nonsense

LBJ’s insecurity was also a factor. He wanted to pass domestic social programs like Medicare and Medicaid but had to prove his anti-communist bona fides. Had he pushed back harder perhaps less people would have died. Congress never declared war on Vietnam; it was basically Johnson ordering bombings and troop deployments

Hollywood movies had gotten stale in the early '60s. The US government hoped that if we got embroiled in a long, costly, and unpopular war, it might inspire a new generation of film makers to buck the studio system and create new and exciting types of movies. And it worked, Platoon, Apocalypse Now, hell even Rambo, came and movies would never be the same again.

Unfortunately, it also created a decade of terrible protest music we still have to hear on the radio to this day. Fawkin unexpected consequences.

Was literally to box-in China (coded with "Marxism/Maoism" but this would have applied even if Mao was a liberal progressive)...and not allow them access to the Moluccas straits.

Same reason the French colonized Indochina and the British the "Malay peninsula/Singapore" but yet the two never came to blows (European imperial collaboration against the Chinee).

Mixed bag. Communism is evil and should be destroyed on sight, and the leadership of the anti-war movement was dominated by commie jews that were against the war in Vietnam but sang the praises of the destruction of Europe ("WW2") for the benefit of the Soviet Union. But of course, drafting young men to go die for some alien country's benefit, all the drug trafficking, the Phoenix Program, agent orange, etc...War is just mass human sacrifice instigated by the usual suspects.
