"Papa Joe" usually refers to Stalin. Is that who you mean? Certainly a
heck of a lot more soldier froze to death on the Eastern Front than in
Europe, but very very few of them were American.

Anyway, I'd balance Joe Kennedy Sr's involvement in WW2 contracting with
Prescott Bush's. At least Kennedy wasn't selling war material to the Nazis.

... I'm not sure he ever "risked his life repeatedly to

brother Teddy

Try swimming a couple of miles of open sea between small Pacific
islands, with tidal currents, sharks, coral reefs... and do it while
injured. Now do it several times, including at night.

It's a walk in the park, right?


... who swam back to the mainland abandoning Mary Jo K to drown,
right?

The two events are very closely connected aren't they?
