I have too much to say, but I will give you, this.
I lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis, on a Continental military defense installation.
I met, and talked, not in a crowd, but one-on-one, with the late JFK.
He was the LAST combat-wounded-veteran President. (Bush01 was shot down, but unharmed.) His book, “Profiles in Courage”, acted as a literary mentor for many Americans.
He was the LAST fiscal conservative Democratic President.
He was the LAST Democratic President of this country, who stood face to face, against the now dissolved (sorta) Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
Lastly, he WAS an American, in the time when television was still new.
The Brits will never get what it is, “being an American”, because it is not in their DNA.
Stood face to face against the USSR ? Khruschev ate his lunch. Nixon never would’ve folded like a cheap suit.
You have a lot to learn about JFK, he was an enemy of America.
A thoroughly corrupt, vain, incompetent, pretty boy, liberal that wanted to change immigration to replace the American voters.
Nothing is real when it comes to him, even his “heroism” that his dad fixed.
Saint Jack did not write "Profiles in Courage" anymore than he wrote anything else that came with his name attached.
“He was the LAST combat-wounded-veteran President. (Bush01 was shot down, but unharmed.) His book, “Profiles in Courage”, acted as a literary mentor for many Americans.”
Ummmm... Not sure that having. PT boat cut in half while you’re in command (JFK) is significantly different than getting shot down in a TBM (GHW Bush). Kennedy’s “wound” was a back injury. Pilots bailing out of aircraft have sustained similar injuries and at much higher rates. Let’s just recognize that the senior Bush was relatively fortunate to escape unscathed.
