"He has been a traitor for 50 + years, yet in spite of true justice, he continues to live outside of jail, and is constantly reelected by the sheeple of MA."
Kennedy was a key background player in the Get out Nam action, Watergate, Nixon leaving office, this bs, and of course the anti Iraq/GW mob.
His proxie Kerry was probably sent to Nam to set up his traitorous return as a so called Navy War Hero, who immediately bonded with Fonda and the other anti war rats.
Grampa, here is perhaps some ammo to your suspicion. This is Jean Fransouis Kerry in 1962 with the "former war hero" JFK prior to The Frenchman's service in Nam. (he is the "lurch" looking guy in the middle)
I am sure there was some stratagies going on there to "recreate" the JFK admin.
