To fight communism; part of the cold war.
Two interrelated threats faced the government of South Vietnam in 1960. One problem was the threat of an expanding control of its countryside by pro-communists. This posed the threat of a deeper civil war within the South. Secondly, the Saigon government was under a threat by non-communists who believed the Saigon government was not doing enough to protect the nation from a takeover by communists who wished to join with communist North Vietnam to form one unified communist nation.Demonstrations in the capital city of Saigon and elsewhere would be infiltrated by communists with the design to exploit any turmoil with South Vietnam.

Because the American Legion can change its rules. Anybody that served in combat is eligable for the American Legion or VFW.
The US joined the Vietnam War in 1960 or 1955because there was a civil war between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, and the US was good friends with South Vietnam's goverment, so they helped out.
Back in 1959, North Vietnam was Communist. Until 1975 when the Americans joined the North and captured the south. Now the whole country is Communist. yes the north was communist and it now entirely communist but the Americas did NOT join the north. they went into the south to protect them from the communist because they were afraid of communist invasion as was seen in cuba with the support of the soviets, the other superpower. it wasnt until after 1975 once all the American troops had left ( referred to as vietnamization) that the North captured the south :)

Actually in the agreement was to help the french subdue Vietnam in exchange, France would help the the US in all future wars. Hence our utter disgust and vile sickness of Americans when France would not join us in Afghanistan or Iraq.
