I mean yeah but Vietnam didn’t go great for the Vietnamese either. “The US is getting involved in your war” is bad even if you win because “dropped more bombs on your tiny Asian country than were dropped in all of WW2 and then gave up and withdrew” is a pretty goddamned Pyrrhic victory.
I have just one word
Vietnam

To be fair in the wars they didn’t “win” they were playing by rules the other side wasn’t.
If we ditched the rules it would be an absolute massacre. And that’s why we don’t.
