Eisenhower continued the Truman support of the French. You heard it here first.

Actually first "advisors" (then OSS predicessor to CIA) were sent by FDR near the end of WW2. (These advisors were comandos.) This was done in secret. At the time, we actually supported the viet minh, predecessor to Viet Cong against the french, due to FDR. Truman maintained, and sent more advisors at the end of the Korean War. This was a public act. Eisenhower maintained them. Johnson was the first to send regular troops.
