Is it true that cold War containment policy caused United States involvement in the Vietnam War?

Unclear. Several peer-reviewed and reference sources describe US involvement in Vietnam as part of the Cold War containment strategy, but each covers only a facet or period and none fully settles that containment policy caused the involvement.
