The Korean War (1950-1953) was OVERSHADOWED by WWII. That is why it is often referred to as, "the forgotten war." Many of the US pilots, sailors, marines, and soldiers who fought in the Korean War were VETERANS of WWII. When it came to discuss their "historical" memoirs, WWII took front stage; and NOT Korea. Both WWI & the Korean War seem to have been grouped into the "neglected" areas of military historical studies. WWI, formerly called the "Great War", became overshadowed by WWII, just as the Korean War did. The Vietnam War had the "last" survivors of WWII on active duty and participating in the war. But NOT enough to overshadow it. There was a long enough time lapse between the Korean War, WWII, and Vietnam to allow the public's mindset to settle into a peaceful frame of mind; then become shattered by the "TV living room" horrors of Vietnam during the 1960's. This combined with the draft caused the protests & riots. Although protests existed during the Second World War & the Korean War, they weren't nearly at on the scale of the Vietnam War. Coupled with the above reasons, was VIETNAM had little military reserve call-ups, compared to Korea & WWII. Meaning: Vietnam was fought by conscripts; WWII & Korea were fought by reserves & conscripts. Therefore, when combined together; TV horror in the living (for the first time in US history), protests/riots, and fighting a war soley on conscripts (draftees), the Vietnam War had a bigger impact. The Korean War & WWII did NOT lower the adult age (from 21 to 18) of US citizens nor did they create ALL VOLUNTEER ARMIES (militaries), nor did those two wars remove a US President from office (Watergate); But the Vietnam War did.
The communists were STOPPED during the Korean War. The communists won during the Vietnam War. The impact on the US, is that that was part of the Cold War; and the Cold War ended in 1990.
The Korean War affected US policy in a positive way; communism could be stopped. Vietnam caused US policy to falter; to use caution when venturing into further over-seas confrontations.
The fact that Vietnam was being taken over by a dictator was one of the foreign policy issues that motivated American intervention in Vietnam. At first, the Americans were just there to teach the people of South Vietnam to defend themselves through the establishment of an army. There was also the Containment Policy, which was the United States' foreign policy to prevent more countries from "acquiring the disease of Communism".
The Korean War and Vietnam War are some of their reactions.
I dont know sorry
Detente is the foreign policy strategy was thought to lessen tension with the Soviet Union. The foreign policy problem that eventually forced Lyndon Johnson out of politics was the Vietnam War.
That policy is called the 'containment policy'. It led to the US involvement in the Korean and Vietnam wars, among others.
Preserve the Republic of S. Vietnam.

The Vietnam War influenced Clinton's foreign policy because it served as a lesson. He observed that you should not get involved in the business of warlords without careful consideration.

The United States became less likely to send troops to foreign conflicts.
To contain communism. The Korean & Vietnam Wars were part of that containment policy.
