Is There a Consensus to End the Cold War?

When JFK is killed on November 22nd of 1963, was the American troop level quote unquote advisors and naval or aerial support about 10,000 or had it reached that level or gone beyond them? Yeah, like when Kenny takes office, it's under a thousand. And then he actually by the time of his death, it's up to 16,000. He was as committed to the Cold War, not more so than Lyndon Johnson. These are just support troops and advisors and they help with air power, other sophisticated equipment but there's not at that point really a need for US combat troops.
