In fact, JFK took a lot of heat for that. The big difference is, RFK
turned out to be competent. Kegbreath himself is *utterly* incompetent
to be Sec.Def, and his brother is equally incompetent.

When a hurricane hits the survivors are
not calling out "Where is Citigroup?" or

out "where is the government?"
The Constitution itself commands government -
