which president FIRST brought us into the Vietnam war?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The fist US President to involve the American military in Vietnam was actually Truman. He sent an aircraft carrier into the region to provde cover to French forces trying to restablish Vietnam as a French colony. It's largely an ignored part of his presidency, as Korea erupted at about the same time and the involvement that Truman had in Vietnam was not even noticed by many.
