Kennedy stuck in 15/16k additional military combat "advisors", and according to this: nixonlibrary.org

"The Kennedy administration also committed a tragic blunder that forever changed the equation in Vietnam. On November 1, 1963, a coup encouraged and supported by the Kennedy administration led to the assassination of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem. By participating in the removal of South Vietnam's President, Kennedy had made the United States directly responsible for the fate of South Vietnam. What had been Vietnam's war became America's war.

Kennedy escalated some, Johnson escalated to 540k...it may have maintained that after Nixon was Pres. never bigger from what I read.
