Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana is plenty swampy. Wasn't that the site of the "guerrilla warfare training center" that the FBI raided on 8/1/63? And didn't the CIA ultimately admit that it had a "guerrilla warfare training center"?
Some did have training, while others had very little, if they all had been trained for guerrilla warfare and how to kill tactics, then folks like my father wouldn't have no need in training some of these men after the disaster.
While Cliff points out that planes were cut from 16 to 8, somewhere, I read that. It's also confronting to know that our U.S. government contends that after the battle, the Brigade lost a total of 16 planes, however, after speaking to several surviving members, they all told me there was a total of 19 planes lost. I suppose if all Jim and a few others have to say about me that I listen to these anti-Castro men for truth, yet I over look the Kirkpatrick and Taylor Report, well, lets face it, no ones perfect.
I believe there is one single emotion that drives a person to want to tell the truth, desire.
