False, US involvement in Vietnam was not reduced during the Kennedy administration.
they were used to spark protest against America's involvement in the Vietnam War
US involvement in Vietnam (then French Indochina) began during WWII, in supporting the Viet Mihn against the Japanese occupiers. US involvement against Ho Chi Mihn dates back to the French Indochina War, during which time Dwight D. Eisenhower was president.
In the 1960's, the US had more than 10 times the population of Australia. But, Australia partnered with the US during the cold war. Australia's involvement in Vietnam mirrored the US's, but on a 10 times smaller scale, due to population differences. Other nations, other than the Philippines, Thailand, South Korea, South Vietnam, and New Zealand...wanted nothing to do with the Vietnam War.
Because the public was being drafted!
Radical protestors during the Vietnam era often burned their draft cards. American involvement in Vietnam began in 1955, and the war ended in 1975 during the presidency of Gerald Ford.
