What a moron. Totally clueless about history. The reason the Soviets challanged us was because Kennedy was so weak. The Soviets never feared Kennedy and they didn’t back down because of Kennedy.

It was Kennedy who backed-out of a mission to provide air support to Cubans in their attempt to overthrow Castro. I will not dispute Kennedy’s decision to abort the mission. What I am outraged about however, is the fact that no one notified the Cubans of the aborted mission, and while waiting for “U.S. Air Support” the Cubans were slaughtered.
