Would you characterize U. S. involvement in Vietnam a success or failure of American foreign policy? please explain reasoning.

I would characterize the U.S. involvement in Vietnam as a failure of American foreign policy.

Explanation: The US caused a lot of their own troops to die and left several behind. They also gassed Vietnam which caused a lot of environmental damage, birth defects, deaths,cancers, and deaths. On the whole, the US failed their citizens and caused a lot of innocent people to be killed thus characterizing this as a failure of foreign policy.

Hope this helps!  :)
