Please help giving brainliest and 30 points!!
Nookie1986 [14]
Causes of US failure in Vietnam include b) The United States supported corrupt leaders in Vietnam and d) Only a few US soldiers fought with honor. 

One of the biggest issues of the Vietnamese war was that the United States went in because of anti-communism above all other reasons because of the Truman Doctrine. The South Vietnamese leaders were not well liked and were overall corrupt.

Hope I could help!
