| Bay of Pigs Veterans Assn Endorses Donald Trump |
| 2016-11-05 |
| [TownHall] "Miami's veterans of the Bay of Pigs invasion voted late Wednesday (Oct. 12) to endorse Donald Trump for president, the first endorsement in the organization's 55-year history." Fifty years before Benghazi we had the Bay of Pigs: The pleas came from Commander Jose San Roman as Soviet tanks, Soviet artillery and tens of thousands of Soviet led troops pounded the 1400 Cuban freedom-fighters he commanded on a bloody and heroic beachhead now known as the Bay of Pigs. The same heartsick and enraged U.S. Navy men listening to these pleas had escorted these freedom‐fighters to that beachhead. Their ships--including the aircraft carrier Essex groaning under a heavy load of deadly Skyhawk jets‐ sat just offshore. "If things get rough," radioed back the heartsick CIA man who helped train and had befriended them, "we can come in and evacuate you." "We will NOT be evacuated!" San Roman roared back to his friend Grayston Lynch, a multi-decorated WWII and Korea war hero. "We came here to fight! We don’t want evacuation! We want more ammo! We want the planes that were promised! This ends here!" Camelot’s criminal idiocy as the U.S.-trained freedom-fighters battle savagely against outrageous odds finally brought Adm. Arleigh Burke of the Joints Chief of Staff, who was receiving the battlefield pleas, to the brink of mutiny. Years earlier, Adm. Burke sailed thousands of miles to smash his nation’s enemies at the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Now he was Chief of Naval Operations and stood aghast as new enemies were being given a sanctuary 90 miles away! Con't. |
