French President Charles De Gaulle spoke to his friend President Eisenhower to help the French with Vietnam. I had a friend, former US Military, who was in Vietnam in 1958. So President Charles De Gaulle sucked the US Military into the Vietnam War and then left it for the Americans to solve. Well President Kennedy was not so included to solve the Vietnam issue and would of pulled out after he was re-elected. So, the Military Industry complex Eisenhower warned us about had strong motivation to prevent Kennedy’s 2nd term.
DeGaulle wasn't in office when the French left Vietnam in 1954.
