Why did the US wage a war in Vietnam, in your opinion?

You are asking the wrong questions from that era.
A more relevant question is who in our nation’s national security apparatus tipped off Soviet intelligence assets in Cuba about the planned Bay of Pigs invasion to purposely sabotage that covert action?
Was it done to put Kennedy — who had expressed extreme misgivings about the covert operation even though he was a committed anti-Communist — in the unenviable position of having to choose between the embarrassment of a foreign policy disaster or the risk of a possible larger war with Russia on America’s doorstep?
Further, what enemies did Kennedy accrue after he fired CIA Director Allen Dulles — later a member of the Warren Commission — over the botched Bay of Pigs invasion?
Most importantly, why have the full, unredacted files on the assassination of a U.S. president never been released by our nation’s national security apparatus?
