No. JFK actually did not want to go into Vietnam.

That is a whole different topic though. But to answer your question no Kennedy did not want to go into vietnam.
What was John F Kenedy's opinion on the Vietnam war?
JFK was against sending Troops to Vietnam. After the Bay o Pigs debacle, JFK want to avoid a new conorntation with the Communists. Military men always want to fight, that is what they are trained for, but JFK could not afford a second bad decision and expext to be reelected. If JFK had not been ambushed, when his motorcade was turned at the last minute, he was ambushed by a member of our government that had the referent power to get the route changed and stall both the Secret Service and Military Presidential Security. Somebody would need to have the unquestionable control of an organization like the FBI. No one would believe a person could do that unless the motorcade could be rerouted into an unsecured, enemy controlled well armed traitors that had nothing to do with the government, but wanted JFK assinated for illegal monetary gains. The government traitor had to have a very severe personal hatred of JFK as well. I wonder who that could be?

How did jfk kept the public informed of Vietnam?
When JFK was in office Vietnam was not the problem it became. Eisenhower began it when he told Vietnam the United States would help when the French left, and then JFK was elected it wasn't an issue with the American public. JFK sent advisers into Vietnam to help and train forces to fight the communist. So, there wasn't a big announcement or much said about sending advisors into the country. Things were just starting to escalate when JFK was killed and that left Vietnam to LBJ to do something. It was LBJ who really sent troops and escalated the "police action " into a war and by 1968 the largest draft in US history. Nixon expanded the war into Laos and did secret bombardment. All of this was done on the foreign policy to contain communist aggression and to save the world for democracy. As it went on the newspapers carried more stories and every night on TV there was reports on site from Vietnam. It was the TV news showing the war that convinced the public the war was wrong. Notice we get very little about the Middle East nor about our men who have died there. That is not an accident.
How did Ike handle the Vietnam war?
Eisenhower never briefed Kennedy on Vietnam when he took over office. Which surprised JFK when Vietnam began to fester; Ike had briefed Kennedy on Laos! Apparently Laos was what Eisenhower believed would be the key trouble spot in Southeast Asia. No one, not the military, not the civilians, probably not even the CIA and other covert organizations believed Vietnam would erupt into what it did.
