Who was president when the Vietnam War started?

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.
