As a Cuban-American, I’ll be forever doubly grateful that JFK held back. Wise beyond his years! Thank God.

That was a frightening time. This presidential poser is terrifying. I'm more afraid now than I was during those 13 days. That was close.

And JFK had the intelligence to say no to war. Will Trump show that say discipline?

I assume you read the tapes. Everyone said invade & JFK alone came up w/blockade & face save for Krushchev. We’d have been be nuked w/Trump

I thought the Generals were unanimous, who opposed attack?

You are correct. All in the room plus other advisors. JFK came up w/blockade & face save for Krushchev.

General Curtis LeMay I'm sure was the main proponent of attacking Cuba. Did the Bay of Pigs debacle change JFK's trust in the generals?

Lemay was a loose cannon. Thought nuclear war was winnable

I love your love of history and can remember so much of what JFK did. I was 17 when he was shot. I remember where I was when it happened.
