The Vietnam war was a hotly contested war in which the fear of communism eventually becoming the dominant government strategy was used to justify US intervention.The article presents a relatively negative view on the president&#8217;s policy towards Vietnam claiming that while the president thought he had support in actuality, he severely lacked public support.
