Dwight Eisenhower sent the first advisers to Vietnam. John F Kennedy sent the first US Green Berets to Vietnam. We could've not have to worry about the Vietnam but the US signed a document saying that the US will help with war with communism without hesitation.
Eisenhower believed in the domino theory that justified intervention in Vietnam and he sent advisors to support the non-Communist government there. Kennedy greatly increased the military aid sent to Vietnam and had the US deeply involved there. Johnson then escalated the War greatly. So, you could say that Eisenhower started it, Kennedy made it inevitable and Johnson really made it a war.

Kennedy Since there is no clear absolute date for the beginning of the war, we could say President Eisenhower or Kennedy. There were advisors there during the Eisenhower presidency (1953-1961) but combat troops were sent in during the Kennedy/Johnson administrations (1961-1969).
The U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war stretched from the administrations of Kennedy through Ford. The majority of the War occurred during the Lyndon Johnson and Nixon administrations.
