        And immediately regretted that decision, so much so that he used back channels to keep Kennedy out of the loop.

        Joe Kennedy was an isolationist, and said good things about Hitler that got him in trouble. Fortunately, his sons were not of the same thinking. Joe, Jr. was KIA on a mission over the North Sea.
