John F. Kennedy’s commander wanted him court martialed for losing a PT boat, everyone down below flaking-out so that the boat was cut in half by a Jap destroyer in broad daylight.
Jack got the Navy Cross instead.
Democrats have funny notions of “valor” but they stick together.
Just amazing. Everything you wrote about PT109 in post 4

Radioman and one machinist in the engine room were below.
JFK and Thom did not get Navy Crosses.
Court martial is bullshit. Kennedy was given command of PT59.
Amagiri ran the boat over in the middle of the night.
Good grief.
