Really? They earned their stripes the hard way? JFK served in the navy for a couple of years and somehow lost his boat when it was "accidentally" run over by a Japanese destroyer. I say "accidentally" because that ship would have known they hit something and stopped to take of survivors. How a small boat like that was just sitting there bothers me. Though it can't be proven it sounds like the boat commander was derelict in his duty though I guess you could say he made up for it later. It shouldn't have happened in the first place.You seem to know quite a bit about the Presidents when it comes to their Naval service. Hmmmmm??? Galt, you are just leaving too many clues. But you just cannot help yourself can you?
LBJ resigned his congressional seat and secured a commission as a Lieutenant Commander in the navy. He made a "fact finding mission" to Australia for FDR and almost got lost when his plane went off course. However, he was able to complete his "mission" and return to Texas just in time for to run in the special election to fill his former seat. As a "war hero" he won easily.
Jimmy Carter was selected to be the Chief Engineer of the USS Triton when it was launched but in the last stages he requested a hardship discharge when his father died. He said that he had to go run the family farm but six months after his discharge he was running for Congress. He put the navy in a hard spot and the Triton in a harder spot by requiring them to launch with an unprepared Engineering Officer. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

Wait a second, maybe I have heard that before.
