The truth and bare facts about the Bay of Pigs
#34
The plan itself was questioned whether or not it should be followed though. The president, CIA and Eisenhower all questioned it's success.

The sheer determination of the anti-Castro Cubans, their pride and fight for a free Cuba is what allowed the CIA to allow the operation to play out, Dulles knew it would have no success unless military was used, it's no secret, And! The "original plan" was to have American military step in after 72 hours of battle, the problem is, it didn't last that long, and Kennedy refused using military to avoid undermining the Monroe Doctrine.

Nor, did Kennedy want to face his adversary in battle, (the Russians). The only success that plan had was NOT to change it origins of landing while allowing the battle to play out, had American military been used after the 72 hours of battle chances are Castro would have been assassinated at the hands of his own people.

This operation had to many blunders and mistakes, in my opinion no one including the president ever really given it any thought.

And so, the Brigade was on their own to fend for themselves. That sucks, but true.
