What wars did John F. Kennedy win?

Answer 1

He didn't win any wars. He was in the Navy in WW2 and his PT boat was sunk by a Japanese ship.He saved the lives of his men and years later a book was published called PT Boat 109. As president he will escalate our involvement in Vietnam by sending in advisors and troops. LBJ will escalate it more after JFK died. Historical documents now show that JFK prevented a war with Russia over the Cuban Missile crisis. JFK had the view that prevention of war was better that aggression to prevent war. Unfortunately today the view is that preemptive action is needed to prevent war. Kennedy felt very strongly about war having lived through one and didn't want to promote actions to create war.

Answer 2

There was no "war" during Kennedy's presidency. The Vietnam "Conflict" started but was not fully underway for the US. We had the "Cold War" for decades but it was not really a "war" and was worldwide. The major threat Kennedy "won" was the "Cuban Missile Crisis" in the summer 1962 against Khrushchev's decision to supply nuclear weapons to Cuba.
