Truman “sent over transport planes and jeeps, along with 35 military advisers, as part of a multimillion-dollar aid package.

U.S. involvement in the conflict would only deepen from there. By the end of Truman’s presidency, the United States was funding more than one-third of France’s war costs.”

It was JFK that got us involved in an actual war.
