Presidential Health and the Theory of Military Coups

Pieczenik discusses his theory that military coups become inevitable when a president regresses or becomes mentally unfit. He cites John F. Kennedy's secret battle with Addison's disease and alleged drug-induced psychosis as evidence of how presidential health is hidden from the public. He argues that the "Camelot" narrative was a fabrication designed to mask Kennedy's ineptitude and medical instability.
