There were over 600 so called advisors (aka cia and special forces) in Nam when jfk took over. The U.S. was already committed by the previous administration to combat the commies. We were in the thick of the cold war, JFK had little choice but to send in troops as was promised by Ike. Doing otherwise would have sent the wrong signal to the communist. He also made this decision based upon the military advisors he had at the time, a bunch of incompetent a-holes who also advised him on the bay of pigs, which was also a disaster. I never said who the "war" belonged to, I just gave you the time line of U.S. involvement to disprove your comment on who owned, escalated, and ended it. Your being there doesn't change documented history, except in your head. That war belonged to the CIA, the pentagon, and of course the big business that profits from it, that's what I think.
