??? Bart, what are you smoking?

Joe Kennedy was a bootlegger, he had no involvement in politics.

If you really think that John F. Kennedy *only* got invovled in WW2 in
order to further his political future, you are really nuts. Why would he
risk his life repeatedly to save men under his command? To win one vote
at a time?

You might have some reason to say that the whole PT-109 incident was the
result of poor skippering, but to claim that it was either fabricated or
merely a politically motivated stunt is just as whacko as claiming the
Holocaust did not happen.

The whole "Viet Nam Vets Against Kerry" and all the malicious stories
they are spreading is bought-and-paid-for advertising. No more, no less.
You might as well base your political opinions on what you see in Pepsi ads.
