The only thing tragic about it is that it allowed Lyndon Johnson to win the Presidential election. He then set us on the road to financial ruin with his "Great Society" vote bribing scheme.
Kennedy deserved far worse than he got for leaving those Cubans to die on the beaches in the Bay of Pigs disaster. A disaster he caused by not telling those brave Cuban freedom fighters that the United States would not use it's Air force and Naval assets to suppress Castro's forces, even though they told them they would.
Kennedy's government deliberately lied to those men, and destroyed any chance they had of winning even before they left.
It is as a result of this failed invasion that Castro demanded Soviet Nuclear rockets be placed in Cuba to deter future aggression.
We never would have had the Cuban Missile crises if it were not for that incompetent Amateur stealing the election from Nixon.
No, Kennedy deserved a lot worse than what happened to him. Thousands suffered and died because he wasn't man enough to pull the trigger on Castro. Millions might have died if things had gone slightly differently.
And he got us involved in Vietnam...militarily anyway.
