JFK enacted SS?

The Bay of Pigs doesn't come across as avoiding war.

And he sure didn't avoid Vietnam.

My mistake, it was FDR

There were multiple instances other than the Bay of Pigs.  He resisted pressure to commit in Vietnam on many occasions.

While Kennedy was alive, about 16,000 US military advisers were deployed to Vietnam.  Around 500,000 are deployed under the Johnson administration.
