Critique my DBQ question

I made this question for a dbq project please critique it.

During the 1960s, the united states moved from indirect into direct involvement in the vietnam war in order to stop the spread of communism. In light of the following documents and your knowledge of the time period from 1950-1973, to what extent do you agree with the U.S involvment in the Vietnam war.

Do you have a list of the documents and a bit of their context you could share with us? Might help us give you a better critique.

At first pass of reading the question, if I remember correctly, DBQs shouldn't be based on personal opinions ("to what extent do you agree with the US involvement...", they should be based on facts, e.g. 'what were the major economic factors that contributed to the US's decision to enter the war'.
