Wow, that's a terrible understanding of history. Embarassing really.
Eisenhower made the treaties but never sent troops, to call that "starting" the war is stupid.
Kennedy sent advisers and trainers but not significant combat troops.
Johnson started the deployment of significant combat troops.
You're another sad product of government schools
Q. Why and under what authority did LBJ send troops to Vietnam
A. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution
I've never heard of anyone but you idiots claiming that signing a treaty was starting a war. You people are seriously fucked in the head you're so lost in Democrat partisanship
LOL, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was not a treaty. How can you not know that?
No shit, I didn't say it was. You were arguing on the side of the dumb ass who thought Eisenhower, who sent no troops to Vietnam, started the war. I didn't realize you were just masturbating. Should have known better
The beginning of our intervention in Vietnam, and the popularity of the Domino Theory began in 1954, followed by our support of Diem, leading to the fiasco which cost the lives of over 58,000 American service personnel. I know, hindsight is 20-20, but our problems in Vietnam and Iran can be attributed to many fathers, but the buck stops at the oval office.
"President Dwight D. Eisenhower coins one of the most famous Cold War phrases when he suggests the fall of French Indochina to the communists could create a “domino” effect in Southeast Asia. The so-called “domino theory” dominated U.S. thinking about Vietnam for the next decade."

Keep in mind that the world today didn't begin with the election of President Obama, or even G.W. Bush. Those who don't read and understand history respond to facts by name calling of those of us who do. So FU and you masturbation comment, it only proved one thing: You are an ignorant and arrogant jerk.
