Pointing out the inconsistancies in the article would take books. It's been done. They're out there. Maybe you read them and maybe you didn't but it's clear to me that nothing I could say on this forum would sway you, or others like you, so why bother? I've made my position clear. That's enough.

And it irritates the hell out of you

What irritates the hell out of me is your demonstrated inability to reason.

In other words, you can't. As a liberal, why do you come on this site if not to make some attempt at educating us. Merely telling us that we're wrong is unproductive. The author makes some very good points and you have demostrated no ability to refute them.

You are quite wrong about his military service. His old man pulled some strings and got him into Naval Intelligence without a real physical. While there the FBI discovered that he was sleeping with a Nazi spy and old Joe got him quietly transferred to PT boat school to avoid the scandal. I never could understand how getting a speedboat ran over by a much slower destroyer could be cosidered heroic. If you ever see the photo of Kennedy getting his medal read the caption old Joe had put under it in the paper, it said the medal was being pinned on by Adm Nimitz, when in fact it was some obscure Navy Captain. Don't let the facts get in the way of your opinions.
