The 1960s was when human nature was questioned, and the ideological differences of a communist man versus a capitalist man were SO TENSE that those living around you day to day, in traffic, at your job, many of them WERE LOYAL communists. I am sorry Aksharbar but your comment is VERY simple/unintelligent, not only in scope, but in magnitude to the severity of the state of the world in 1962.

[@jonathangrant3620]

JFK was adamantly opposed to Martin Luther King's march on Washington, saying their would be violence. He did adamantly support sending the first 17,000 combat troops to Vietnam, leading to America's biggest disaster, and he supported the overthrow and murder of President Diem. Let us not forget the Bay of Pigs, which is not a description of Bobby's sloppy seconds.

[@jayfarias8440]

Jonathan Grant Do remember that he would eventually roll back troops from Vietnam after realizing how many troops would fall if he were not cut down so quick, do mind that after the Bay of Pigs he still held off the communists from war, do keep in mind that eventually he passed the Civil Rights Act for AA to finally be US citizens. JFK learned from his mistakes and moved on from them.

@@TMX_Pro683 JFK was NOT a Liberal. The closest he came to that label on a large scale was his huge mistake in Vietnam. I don't think a Democrat candidate who espouses his major positions today could win a Democrat Primary for a national election. No way. He was more a Conservative leader, who supported traditional family values & teaching in our schools, a strong Conservitive criminal justice system, programs that incentivized being productive, working Citizens, while shedding a positive light on those who took pride in working for the betterment of our country. These are Republican values & positions.

The "ask not", "pay any price" and "torch has been passed" quotes are always cited but this one I feel is about as power a line as you'll ever hear a real leader of the people say:"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."

[@soupy4099]

Logan Belt When Russia was moving the nukes into Cuba, it was because we had put nukes in Turkey. Also, the USA isn't the best at anything. New Zealand ranks higher than the US in opportunity, Personal Freedom, and Economic Freedom. Not to mention that more people die from peanut allergies worldwide than people die in acts of terrorism. Interrogate might not be the word you want to use as a euphemism for torture against your fellow man. I don't serve my country, that's not why it was here. The government of this country was made to handle all of the low level shit that a normal person doesn't have time to do. They were put here to serve us. Titles in government are not an elevation of status, they are simply a passing around of duties from one equal man to another.

Also, the revolutionary ideas he refers to are the same human rights I was talking about.

@tooltalk, your criticism misses the mark for lack of context. You're right; Kennedy was 'hawkish', but then again he was a rookie with a very steep learning curve when compared to Eisenhower, who had a bead on international goings on since graduating from West Point in 1915, not to mention his strategic responsibilities during WWII and his knowledge of the situation as NATO Supreme Commander and later President of The United States. So, when giving the most famous Farewell Address since George Washington's, Eisenhower revealed what Kennedy was up against. Once Kennedy learned (he picked up lickety split), he began to question everything others did not want him questioning, which Eisenhower warned about.
