Actually Ike was the one who first sent advisers there.

True that. But we had advisers pretty much everywhere. It was LBJ who decided to turn the whole thing into a full-blown war.
I know this not your intent, dfwgator. But I have old-school Democrat relatives who insist that the whole Vietnam debacle is Ike’s fault because of the adviser thing. They refuse to blame LBJ simply because LBJ was a Democrat.
