Kennedy added more "advisers", Johnson drafted the most men and sent in the most of the troops, and Nixon expanded the war with his secret bombings into Laos. So, the three of them escalated it bit by bit. Despite the acts of President Nixon, he had run for president on the promise to end the Vietnam War. This he accomplished.
The United States got in involved with Vietnam in the 1950's when France pulled out. Eisenhower signed agreements that the United States would provide help.

This question is indirectly related to the "Vietnam Syndrome" (a loss of self respect and with a defeatist attitude). The Vietnam War has NO exact starting and ending date. Which added to the confusion to the men fighting the war, which fuelled a defeatist attitude. President Eisenhower sent US advisers to Vietnam in 1955. President Kennedy sent US Special Forces (Green Beret) to Vietnam in 1961. President Johnson sent US Marines to Vietnam in 1965. That's for the starting date. President Nixon had the "Paris Peace Accord" signed in 1973 ending the war officially for the US (we still had covert operations going on). The communists conducted a full scaled military invasion in 1975, capturing the capital of South Vietnam, Saigon, in April 1975, the war was over. That's for the ending date.
President Eisenhower sent US advisers to Vietnam in 1955. President Kennedy sent US Special Forces (Green Beret) to Vietnam in 1961. President Johnson sent US Marines to Vietnam in 1965, and commenced the first AIR CAMPAIGN over North Vietnam called, "Operation ROLLING THUNDER'. President Nixon ordered US Gound Troops to invade/attack the countries of Cambodia and Lao's, and commenced the heaviest B-52 bomber campaigns in military history over North Vietnam in 1972 with operation's titled "Linebacker I" & "Linebacker II", (which also resulted in heavy B-52 Bomber losses). Under President Nixon, the "Paris Peace Accord" was signed in 1973. Thus ending the war for the US.
