Yeah that bit about J.P Kennedy is why I am not a fan of his at all. Jack, Bobby, and Ted were thankfully not that way and from what I understand the old man was none too happy when the older boys signed up.

oh, please, like they had any choice. The 1942 draft too EVERY able-bodied man 18-34 — including the entire Harvard student body, all of Major League Baseball, and the president’s sons.

Men who volunteered ahead of their draft notice had some choice whether to be Army or Navy.
