Viet Nam was France's mess, and for some reason LBJ thought it was his job to clean it up. France was more involved in causing Viet Nam than the USA was.

France withdrew from Vietnam in 1954 i think. The country was divided in two, with the Communist North then attacking the South. France by this point has absolutely nothing to do with Vietnam. JFK decides to send equipment and advisors to South Vietnam and the troops were sent under LBJ. The reason that the US got involved in Vietnam was to prevent the spread of communism not "to sort out France's mess". I know France isn't the most popular counrty in the US right now, but you can't blame them for US involvement and subsequent failure in Vietnam.
