    Short answer: South Korea was invaded by North Korea, and then defended by the UN (including the USA).

    South Vietnam was formed in defiance of the international agreement to hold national elections for the future of Vietnam, and then supported primarily by the USA in the continuation of a civil war.

    Sometimes the USA is on the right side. Sometimes the USA is on the wrong side. That’s how history - and the national interests of powerful states - goes.
