Answer:

Necessary: The joining of the US in WW2.

The majority of the allied countries would have collapsed in the event that the US had not entered the conflict, leaving the US to constantly fight on two fronts by itself. As a result, more resources would have been depleted, more lives would have been lost, and the war would have lasted longer.

Unnecessary: US fighting the Vietnam War.

Yes, the US stood up for all countries who opposed Communism, but that does not mean they should back totalitarian governments. They made the wrong decision to enter the conflict because: (1) The populace did not support them; (2) It is not a good idea to enter a conflict solely as a result of a ship attack; and (3) They were not even equipped for conflict (3). However, they were, with people enlisting in foreign armies (British), producing equipment (Lend-Lease Program), and having many people ready to serve in the war (Roosevelt's New Deal), which had many young Americans who were already employable.

Necessary: The joining of the US in WW2.
Without the US joining the war, most of the nations that were part of the allied powers would have fallen, leaving the US to fight two fronts by itself at all times. This meant that more resources would be drained, more loss of life, and the war would have continued on longer.

Unnecessary: US fighting the Vietnam War.
Sure, the US defended all nations that were against Communism, but it does not mean they should support totalitarian states. Them choosing to join the war was wrong, because the people did not support them (1), joining a war just because of a ship attack isn't the best idea (2), They were not even prepared for war (3). You may argue that they weren't prepared for WW2, however, they were, with people joining foreign armies (British), making equipments already (Lend-Lease Program), and already had many people ready to join the war (Roosevelt's New Deal) in which many young Americans were already work-ready.
