This is really getting a bit too personal for me on an open thread . This asshole is about to really piss me off.. But yours is a fair question.. I served in the AIR FORCE 1959-1962, involved in a 1961 little covert operation code named "Operation Zapata".. this was not our nations finest hour.. I was a brief POW, but not long enough mention. We were initially a team of 6 guys grabbed as soon as we hit dirt.

We were helped out really early by a Cuban guard, and a mess of farmers. The envision as you know was a tragedy, only 18 of us were white Americans. 13 of the guys weren't fortune enough to make it out.. Not anything I like to either think about or talk about.. It was better known as the bay of pigs, I was part of a drop in behind the lines.. and it pretty much finished me with Democrats and candy-assed liberals.. Now Thats it.. no more about this chapter, thanks.. Really thanks for your service.
