Cuba could be ours in a matter of hours

Just like the Bay of Pigs?

Except that was before the Navy was gutted by the Clintons and the Bushes.

it was the air cover which Kennedy withheld that caused the defeat at the Bay of Pigs

the expatriate Cubans practiced for the raid on No Name Key and set off from Safe Harbor Marina on Stock Island

the missile launching pads and bunkers are still visible at the east end of the runway at Key West airport

On most any given day the fire power at NAS Key West (on Boca Chica Key) alone would make short work of the Cuban Air Force ... and there are always a few SEAL teams training there and on Sigsbee

If Castro gets frisky and we have the volition it would be a very short one sided skirmish
