In reply to the discussion: RFK Jr considering run for President [View all]womanofthehills
(10,998 posts)He was recently on a podcast saying Pres Kennedy hated the CiA because they kept pushing him to get into wars. RKJ said President Kennedy wished the CIA did not exist and fired all the top CIA people. There was an internal war between the military industrial complex and President Kennedy. The CIA was trying to push him into a land war in Vietnam & Laos and he was opposed to a land war in those countries. I read that he compromised and put troops on the border of Laos.
When Kennedy was running for President, he was in a small parade in NYC in an open convertible. I saw him accidentally because the street I wanted to cross was blocked. About 20 businessmen and young pretty me were waiting to cross - when he waved at us none of the business men waved back but I waved like crazy and so he looked at me and we waved to each other.
