Don't mean to put you on the spot, but I wonder if you know how the military works.
He went into the 'family business'. Didn't really have much choice. He (barely) graduated from Annapolis at the bottom of his class. He crashed 2 planes while in training. If his name had been John Sidney Johnson he'd have washed out of pilot training, but his daddy and granddaddy were admirals so...
I'm a former USAF pilot. He got a lot more breaks and passes than I would have. No, I don't honor him for his service.
