The story of the failed invasion of Cuba at the
Bay of Pigs, which is located on the south coast
of Cuba about 97 miles southeast of Havana, was
one of mismanagement, poor judgment, and stupidity
(Bay of Pigs 378). The blame for the failed
invasion falls directly on the CIA (Central
Intelligence Agency) and a young president by the
name of John F. Kennedy. The whole intention of
the invasion was to assault communist Cuba and put
an end to Fidel Castro. Ironically, thirty-nine
years after the Bay...

in the military but the real DDAY is far from
common; there will always be only one DDAY in the
minds of the general public. What made DDAY so
special? Why was this particular invasion
