Kennedy wore a back brace for years as a result of a back injury he suffered in college.

HMMMmmm...

Why didn't it keep him out of the military services?

Papa Joe was grooming JFK to be president, military service in WW2 had to be part of the plan.

It wasn’t that bad when he joined the Navy. On the night PT 109 was rammed by a Japanese destroyer he was violently slammed against the wheelhouse. Just imagine the several thousand tons of a steel vessel doing about 10 knots. Kennedy was lucky he wasn’t killed. That exacerbated the injury to the point that it would bother him for the rest of his life.
