Well, they were defending the freedoms of South Vietnam, which was a sovereign republic which was being invaded by another country. They were resisting international Communism, which had a goal of establishing Communist governments in every country, to include the United States. So by defending South Vietnam from its invader they were defending the United States.

Not arguing about the sovereign nation part, yet I recommend you read up a bit on the history (maybe not only US history books). vietnam war domino theory, haven’t heared that in a while. So the US was defending their freedoms against communism ... and lost? So they lost their freedom and communism took over the world? Watch Apocalypse Now and full metal jacket to see how freedoms were defended.
