>>But, Jack Kennedy was by all accounts that I am aware of a
genuine war hero (PT-109). The "all profile and no courage" label is not totally accurate.


Wrong.

The PT-109 episode is a PR fabrication. Kennedy had been drinking and endangered his crew in a reckless manner. Had he not been the son of the Dem party's largest contributor he would have been busted. Remember, Joe Kennedy and Hearst got FDR his job.

Survivors have written about the episode and you can look it up. Btw, LBJ also fabricated a "war hero" story for his week in WWII. That's in Caro's books. It's Hillarious in its mendacity.
