No matter what else you can say about the Kennedys (which I won’t say because I don’t want my LGF account suspended), old Joe Kennedy did not use his position to keep his boys out of WW II. Joe, Jr. — who was supposed to be president — served in the Army Air Force and was killed in action. JFK served honorably in the Pacific and Bobby enlisted in the Navy as an apprentice seaman. And Teddy served in the Army for a couple of years in the early 50s or so.

I saw a documentary on the Kennedy’s a couple of weeks ago. Military service was a way into politics what with it being WWII and all.
