By the time of President Kennedy's assassination, he had sent 16,000 advisers to South Vietnam. Military operations conducted by the advisers was well beyond expressed congressional authorization. There was no Congressional resistance to this and only Senators Gruening, Morse and McGovern expressed opposition to this.

To try and keep South Vietnam from falling to the Communists, and because the government of South Vietnam was too corrupt and incompetent to defend themselves. The government of South Vietnam was never able to defend themselves, and President Gerald R. Ford finally gave up on them in 1975. They soon fell to communist North Vietnam.
