Lots of guys could have sat out the wars over the years and didn't. Doesn't make them heroes. JFK did what ANY junior officer (and also any Non-Com) was supposed to do as far as taking charge and looking after his men. It wasn't heroic until the whole politics/Profiles in Courage thing got under way after the war. IIRC George HW Bush was at one time the youngest Naval Aviator to serve and was shot down in action. He flew 58 combat missions. Was he more or less a "hero" than JFK? And lets not forget that Kennedys good friend (whom he would later appoint to the Supreme Court!) Byron White helped write the investigation report regarding JFKs actions in letting his boat be run down. It was war, things happen. Not every hero is recognized and anyone who's served in any military or para military unit can attest that some heroes...aren't. IMO the whole thing was simply an accident that didn't turn out as bad as it could have, JFK did what anyone in his position would be expected to do and that he was lucky not to have been Court Martialed.
