Didn't Joe die after John's boat was rammed and he became a hero? Wasn't jealousy of his brother that caused Joe to volunteer to take that fateful mission?

So, the buying of the PT boat wouldn't have happened because Old Joe lost young Joe in war.

Who said it did? Joe Jr. became a pilot against dad's wishes.

Don't confuse them with facts....you are right, Joe died a full year after PT109 sank, while trying to get the medal papa thought he needed for congress as a first step.
