JFK talked of pulling out our troops from Viet Nam but was shot. MLK should be taught to all kids and adults to this day. Malcolm X was a radical at a time when that may have been needed, hard to say on that one, But I see your point, the other answerer's told you to read more, but they only know what they got from TV by their answers I doubt they have read much either.

You might want to spend a little time actually studying the first and third people you mentioned. Malcolm X was a virulent separatist and "By any means necessary" was not defining the tea party he'd invite you too.
Also Kennedy's defining moment was being shot. Before that he accomplished very little and was in fact a horrible president. Fortunately his brother got taken down before he could get in office so you have still not seen a real warmonger.

Nut cases killed those men and they are not limited to specific nationalities. I also would call Malcolm X a man of stature or put him in a list with King or Kennedy.

Wasn't JFK's administration the first to send troops into Vietnam? Didn't Malcom X followers threaten to create a "race war"? I'll give you MLK, but the other examples show how narrow a thinker you really are.

The only one of your examples that was a man of peace is
M. L. King. Kennedy had the Bay of Pigs fiasco and sent "military advisors" to Viet-Nam and Malcom X urged violence against the establishment.

And Kennedy wasn't a "war monger"? Perhaps you might want to study the history of the Vietnam war.

You know Malcolm X would have qualified as a warmonger, right?
Hitler was a warmonger and nobody likes him, Ghandi and Mother Teresa are as revered as anybody.
We typically celebrate those who bring an end to war and give the gift of freedom to others. Patton, Washington, Lincoln, and eventually maybe even Bush. Nobody was particularly pleased with any of them when they were alive, but now they're loved.

Maybe you should have asked Julius Caesar when he said, "I came, I saw, I conquered."
Rome was the greatest civ on the planet at the time because of Julius Caesar's relentless "war-mongering".
War has many downfalls. Just remember that some things are worth fighting for. If you don't show up in the enemy's backyard, they'll show up in yours.
