He got us into the Vietnam war and He was screwing around, couldn’t keep his pecker in his pants, not such a good husband or father, and on lots of meds.

Gave us Government unions and stole election from Nixon. If he hadn’t stole the election we wouldn’t have all the problems we have today. No welfare state and immigration invasion with 1965 law by his trashy brother.

No he didn't. The war JFK was in was with the CIA. The Clowns In America wanted war in VietNam and in Cuba (and later, Afghanistan)... the CIA is all about war (Eisenhower's warning about the Mil Ind Complex included the CIA).

JFK famously said he wanted to shred the CIA into a 1000 pieces and scatter into the winds.

JFK also was opposed to the FED, in EO 11110, creating silver treasury dollars.

LBJ cancelled and reversed all the good things JFK did.

A family friend who was a Kennedy supporter and a Democrat party local activist in Boston knew both John and Robert early in JFK's political career. She described John as charming and considerate, but Bobby as a driven, demanding SOB.

As President, JFK was wrong about many things but correct on one great issue: not going to nuclear war with the Soviet Union over Cuba. Contrary to Kennedy and good sense, LeMay and the Joint Chiefs of Staff mostly saw nuclear war as inevitable and best fought at a time of our choosing. This was a key point of friction between Kennedy and the US national security establishment.

There is some reason to believe that John Kennedy's compulsive philandering was in part due to his medications, which included injected methamphetamine. In addition, to remedy lost adrenal function, JFK was taking large doses of a broad spectrum steroid that likely weakened his bones and may have contributed to his back problems.

Our involvement in Vietnam started w Truman in 1945. No one talks about pre-Kennedy.
