A Brief Look at JFK

JFK became president of the United States of America in 1960. He called on the nations of the world to fight poverty, hunger, and disease. With this, underpaid translators sent European countries off to fight Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Kennedy was a vehement anti-Communist. One morning while signing letters he suffered a papercut and, deeply ashamed that his blood was red, locked himself in the Oval Office bathroom for two days.

Before his presidency, Kennedy served in the US Navy for four years, commanding torpedo boats in the Pacific and also some of the men in the boats. He received the Purple Heart and several other decorations—but later confided that the party favors were a bit much.

It was at the height of the Cold War when Kennedy became president. On his watch came the crisis in Cuba which, contrary to common opinion, was not about the USA's reduced commericial interest in cigars.
