I’m no fan of JFK.
My issues are that Eisenhower left him three military operations underway and he made a mess of all three.
Eisenhower had trained a Tibetan army which was in combat against the Chinese. Kennedy cut them off and they were wiped out to the last man.
Eisenhower had trained a Cuban army and Kennedy dumped them on the beach with Castro’s army waiting to round them up.
And Eisenhower’s team that had defeated the communists in the Philippines had been re-deployed to South Vietnam. Kennedy fired them and handed it over to his Harvard geniuses, and ordered the assassination of the democratically elected Diem. His remark later was something like, “oh, did I do that?”.
Three operations and three disasters.
someone nuke Harvard before they multiply
