McGeorge Bundy and Robert McNamara are two men who played a chief role in escalating the war. Bundy moved into politics in 1961 when he was appointed National Security Advisor to  the administration of President John. F. Kennedy. He played a key role in all of the major foreign policy defense decisions of the Kennedy administration and was retained by Lyndon B. Johnson for part of his tenure. Bundy was involved in the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. In 1964 under Johnson he was also responsible for coordinating government covert operations. He was a strong proponent of the Vietnam War during his tenure and claimed that the war effort was an essential battle in containing communism. He supported escalating U.S. involvement, including the commitment of hundreds of thousands of ground troops in the region and the sustained bombing of North Vietnam in 1965. Later studies of the memorandums and policy papers showed that Bundy along with other advisors understood the risks involved, but proceeded with these actions  anyways for domestic political reasons, rather than out of any belief that the U.S. had a realistic chance of winning the war. [ 2] Later he went on to become the head of the Ford Foundation from 1966-1979.
