Captain Bonespurs v. PT-109? So Trump thinks he's equal to Jack Kennedy!

#PresidentKennedy took a bullet for America after serving honorably (See #PT109) in it’s #Navy.
The Center was named to honor that service and ultimate sacrifice.

Re: #PT109 on @tcmtv.bsky.social last night. I enjoy the film but it always brings melancholy. He was my first President and the hurt from 11/22/63 is still real to me. I had this PT-109 comic book (mom probably threw it out). The actual coconut is at @jfklibraryfdn.bsky.social #TCMParty
A Georgia movie theater marquee displayed the slogan "See how the Japs almost got Kennedy" while showing "PT 109." The film was released in the United States five months before John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
That's the most Georgia thing I've ever heard.

This film could be 30 minutes shorter. #JustSaying

George Takei cameo in #PT109, warming up for his helmsman position on the USS Enterprise a few years later. #TCMParty
fun fact: due to his #pt109 experience, kennedy became skeptical of military leadership. it served him well as president...by not taking their advice during the cuban missile crisis, he avoided a war. #tcmparty
There's a very good chance that if you grew up in an Irish-American household during a certain time, you knew the story of JFK and #PT109 by heart. #TCMParty
Of any war movie ever, my favorite dialogue is:
"M*A*S*H" (1970):
Concerning Hawkeye Pierce:
>> Hotlips O'Houlihan:
"I wonder how such a degenerated person ever reached a position of authority in the Army Medical Corps."
>> Father Mulcahy:
"He was drafted."

At one point in my childhood– between reading the Scholastic Books version of JFK's #PT109 exploits and consuming a steady diet of McHale's Navy reruns after school– I thought being a member of a PT boat crew would be the coolest job in the world. #TCMParty
