Hmmmm, Let's see now.  Truman left office in Jan '52,  Dien 
Bien Phu was a year or two down the road yet.  Sooooooo, 
Truman could not possibly have sent advisors to aid the 
Vietnamese Army as there was no Vietnamese Army other than 
Ho's.  The French had there Army which was what the Vietnamese 
Army under Ho and led by Giap were fighting.  Point is that 
any U.S. aid went to the French, not the Vietnamese during 
Trumans time.

Now Eisenhower in '57 or '58 DID send in advisors to Viet Nam, 
but the good (CIA installed tinpot)Diem was ensconched by that 
time, and the French long gone.

Roach also makes a point of saying that he voted in '48, which 
makes him born in 1927 or earlier.  Roach go take your gingko 
and prozac cause yer ol' suthrin'sun-baked brain is gasping.  

If you Roach, are indeed in your 70's or 80's then perhaps it 
might prove prudent to refresh your memory with a little 
reading before you go making a damn fool of yourself by 
spouting off from memory alone.
