Kennedy refused to send troops to Vietnam for a long time because his policy toward South Vietnam rested on the assumption that Diem and his forces must ultimately defeat the guerrillas on their own.. he was proven wrong but all his advisors wanted to send troops there, disguised or not.. so, I believe, 3rd option it is..
