That is always a tough question because it covers a long timeline. * Truman provided the French with leftover WWII equipment. * Eisenhower provided Cash, Advisers and Air America plus Intelligence and aircraft. * Kennedy added the Green Berets. * Johnson sent in the Marines to protect American Assets. And it brewed and grew. * Nixon accelerated with B-52's and cross border attacks. It was a political quagmire.
