Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

It is President Lyndon Johnson

President Johnson's presidency was very much defined by US participation in the Vietnam War. Johnson believed that the spread of Communism was a threat to American security and the US needed to stop the spread of it around the world.

With that, Johnson escalated the US involvement in the war, but the number of casualties was high and America was full of anti-war protests.
