The US involvement in Vietnam was a one to forget by the US, as it brought them lot of shame and shaken reputation among the international community. The US thought that Vietnam would be easy to take over, but they very wrong. The elections in the country were canceled, which led to a situation where there wasn't official governing body, creating chaos. The Buddhist practices were going in the advantage of the US enemy, as the Buddhists were not very fond of the Western world and the imposition of its culture and religion it tried to do. The Viet Cong, a strong and very well organized paramilitary organization, was against the US, and it was an organization that had people all over the country, knew the terrain very well, and its members were very well equipped and motivated. All of these factors led to a defeat of the US army in Vietnam, thus losing the Vietnam War.
