[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Japan was not directly threatened militarily by the possibility of a Communist government in Vietnam. The main reason why the United States became involved in Vietnam in the 1960s was the fear of the spread of communism. The U.S. government believed in the domino theory, which suggested that if one country in Southeast Asia fell to communism, then neighboring countries would also fall like dominoes. This fear of the spread of communism was the primary motivation for U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
