Truman got the ball rolling, Eisenhower took the hand-off from the French and built up the advisory-assistance and covert development of US involvement. Kennedy was the least enduring at 3 years, but he brought it out of the shadows. Johnson did the greatest amount of excalation during his 5 years. Nixon was the most aggressive; he conducted the most dramatic actions of the war: Bombing the North with B-52s and invading Cambodia (1970) & Laos (1971). A disenchanted Congress tired of Nixon and his further expansion of the war, forcing him out of office and cutting the funding for it when Ford was in office in 1975.
