presidents held similar beliefs concerning Vietnams strategic importance relative to fighting communism. It can also be argued that, when viewed at their most basic level, the strategies of
these presidents were also similar. All three presidents chose to fight a "limited" war, which is a war in which there are limited objectives and the goal is not all-out

Kennedy, and the majority of his advisers, expressed the belief that a non-Communist Vietnam was crucial to the national interests of the US (Herring 1979). Apologists claim that JFK
never devoted his full attention to Vietnam, and the historical record indicates that this is true (Herring, 1979). Kennedy reacted to crises and dictated the US response on a "day-to-day
