Was JFK a good president?
No. He had a good cabinet though.
Well he wasn't a bad president. And better than anything that came after him.
If Nixon had won in 1960 the world might be a better place though. The 1960 Nixon wasn't nearly as bad as the 1968 Nixon.
No but because he was attractive and got assassinated people think he great and progressive.
If only pic related wasn't shot. I'd like to hear the real story.

He was alright. Not as good as he is often hyped up to be, but had good intentions. Problem was that he was god-awful at working with Congress to get much of anything useful done in terms of policy, something LBJ would later excel in comparably while still carrying on similar intent as JFK.

He was progressive on some issues. He was also conservative as fuck on a lot of other issues.

Only in the context that his father was an enemy of the Jews, trained him to screw them, which ultimately got him shot. In everything else he was another awful American monster.

He was a good president for the special operations community.

He did a lot more for the community than a botched CIA operation.
There is a reason it's called the the US Army John F Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School and not just the US Army Special Warfare Center and School.

He was decent on domestic issues. He had a terrible foreign policy though, including antagonizing the Soviets and escalating the war in Vietnam.
JFK saved our dicks during that whole missile crisis shit. A lot of government officials wanted to blow up the world to prove a point.
His accent was cool too.
