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

You just flunked K-history 101. Joe used his mob profits to buy the
ambassadorship to England where we got REALLY rich in the black markets
diverting war materials to european criminals. Remember how many soldiers
lacked warm cloths and blankets, even froze to death, thanks to Papa Joe?

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're right! JFK (like the shrub) had no intention of risking his life.
Papa Joe bought him a nice safe billet but he got tied up with a female spy
so his superiors shipped him off to the Pacific where he blundered into the
path of a Jap can. I'm not sure he ever "risked his life repeatedly to
save men under his command". He was an even better swimmer than his kid
brother Teddy who swam back to the mainland abandoning Mary Jo K to drown,
right?
