U.S: enters Vietnam war in 1954

What if, as was discussed in the Eisenhower White House, U.S. forces were sent to rescue the French as Dienbienphu was falling. Vice President Nixon favored it. So perhaps we have to kill off Eisenhower with an earlier heart attack. IIRC Ike would have favored it if the British weere willing ot come in, so that is another possibility.
 
Perhaps if the Joint Chiefs had supported th operation Ike would have approved it. General Lemay would have been more than happy to bomb the hell out of the commies.
