The correct answer is "They did not want to lose South Vietnam to Communism". The main goal of the policymakers during Johnson administration regarding US involvement in Vietnam was to stop the spread of communism. US army was located in South Vietnam at that time and they feared that if US retreated from it, the communism would spread to their location.
