Because of these two reasons Congress did not ratify the treaty.

This was known as the Freedom summer

Answer:
The war was not worth fighting.
Explanation:
First of all, the American military was ill-prepared for the war because it did not know well what strategy the Vietcong would use against the American soldiers, as they did not expected the war to become almost a guerrilla warfare.
Secondly, the American military and government ignored Vietnam's geography, economy, society and history, and this made it difficult to understand the context, and garner support from the Vietnamese people.
Third, the war was held in a far away country that did not pose any direct threat to American citizens
Finally, the war caused heavy casualties to both sides, including Vietnamese civilians, that did not lead to a victory, since the American military technically lost the war as it had to retreat.
