I was just your average E-4 draftee over the Berlin Crisis, when Cuba came into the picture. I predicted that it wasn’t going to be a Global war over Cuba. In conversation with the guys who were with me, I told them that the Russians are big bluffers and they were in no position to support another war after all they had gone through in less than a generation ago. Everything about JFK was hyped, the media loved him just like any Democrat today. All show, not much go, and the beat goes on just like today.
