I recall that both Joe and Jack Kennedy voluntarily put themselves in
harm's way for their country, when as an ambassador's kids, they could
easily have avoided military service had they so chosen.

Yes, as did George Bush (actually, both of them), but none of that
really has much to do with this topic, good, bad, or otherwise. There
has been no better example than the Kennedys of a family and most of its
members having not only coasted on "Daddy's money," and a large part of
that being illegal or illicit money, but acted personally as though
they were "better" than others, and yet, they remain the darling of
people who tend to superficially dismiss that type of people.

Darlings or demons, the Kennedys would appear to loom larger in some minds
than others. One could almost wonder why someone would evoke the specters
of a family he evidently loathes in defending himself against the same
charge for which he takes them to task.
