Did America go in for thier own reason, absolutely, after France completely bungled thier role in Vietnam and needed a bailout from the States.
That whole thing doesn't exactly sound like a "we bailed them out of something they couldn't finish" scenario. You aren't bailing someone out if you keep paying for them to stay involved and for the next 20 years keep yourself embroiled in the situation even if the guy you "bailed out" is long gone.
