"Hey...was it JFK's fault he lost the PT-109?"

Some speculate that it was...

"...Most Americans know the story of John F. Kennedy and his boat, PT-109. Actually, what most people know about the 109 story is not the whole story. People do know the high lights of the “aftermath”...but not exactly how the boat was sunk in the first place. Until recently, none of us had the full story...Newly released Japanese war documents indicate that JFK was, literally, asleep at the wheel when a Japanese destroyer stalked and destroyed PT-109. Yet, despite this negligence, the full story of Kennedy's war service as a PT boat captain is a heroic one."

I was trying for irony and I hit truth? Hmmm...even a blind pig finds an acorn sometimes.
