Do you even know many US soldiers were fighting and dying on ground there compared to Russian or Chinese?

USA officially had boots on ground . They lost 58000 soldiers to combat in Vietnam and another 300,000 wounded. That is not a proxy war for USA they were fighting directly using their men and equipment as an ally of south vietnam 

Meanwhile soviet union lost like 16 people and china about 1000. It was a proxy war for them with north vietnam being their proxy in the war
