depends on you point view.Kennedy did not send the U.S. military to support Cuban Rebels. They were trained by the U.S.and after their landing in Cuba we were going to help but did not. it was a total disaster. Historian say that this defeat made way for the "Cuban Missile Crisis's".

It will have little effect on the state of Iraq. Yes, he was a killer and he is gone for good. However, so was Saddam and when they caught him, they trumpeted his capture as a turning point. However nothing changed afterward. Iraq will still remain a hell-hole.

There was no coalition.  Britain sent the most troops.  Poland a few, Spain a few, Italy a few.  Spain withdrew first after the train bombings in Madrid.  Poland is out.  Italy too. Only Britain is left and they are pulling out. \nThe whole thing was a scam

After the Bay of Pigs fiasco, JFK did not want to make another mistake with the communists and ordered financial and military assistance to support the South Vietnamese army (ARVN). Military assistance was limited to equipment and advisors until Johnson took over and ordered combat troops to take over fighting from the ARVN forces after the Tonikan incidents.

Try cliff notes \nhttp://www.cliffsnotes.com/WileyCDA/LitNote/id-12.html\nI read the book myself.  It symbolizes the Russian revolution.  The pigs claim they have the best plan for  freeing the animals from humans but in the end the pigs turn into humans themselves.  Good luck on your test.

I think it will be like Vietnam where the US won militarily in terms of the number of enemy troops/insurgents that were killed(US lost 58,000 soldiers, Viet Cong lost over 1.5 million) but did not acheive its goal to stop the communist takeover of Vietnam. The US will no doubt kill dozens of insurgents for every soldier it loses in Iraq but public opinion in the States will eventually lead to troop withdrawal and the insurgents may overthrow the undefended and overwhelmed democratic government and install a theocracy like Iran

Get real it was the result of a nation gone mad, religious or other\nwise

Possibly the Battle of Cannae. If so, the sourced website lists only 48000 killed, but there were 55000 troops total.

Absolutely.  Military analysts predicted a full-scale invasion of the Japanese mainland would have costed the lives of 1 million Americans, .5 million British, and 3 million Japanese.  All those lives were saved by dropping the bombs.  Plus, the war got over sooner and the hard-ships faced by citizens of all the countries sitll involved were reduced significantly and they could go back to leading normal lives.

We fought bravely and can be proud of our military.The british were in charge and decided on withdrawal.It was the right decision.There is no point in sacraficing more lives on a lost cause.Whitlam did the right thing in veitnam(withdrew our troops)When the americans pull out of iraq so will we. Unless we get a labor government before victory

Do a search on Operation Sussex Bay, Vietnam, August 29, 1968.\n\nIf your cousin was in the Marine Corps, he was there.\n\nOperation Sussex Bay was apparently a fiasco, and the Marines, although very courageous, were simply outnumbered, and a lot of them got caught by surprise. The VC had laid out various land mines and booby traps. Many marines were blown up. Others were killed by small arms fire. Sadly, some were killed by friendly fire. Hard to say exactly what happened to your cousin. One of three things happened to him: He was blown up by an explosive device, killed by hostile small arms fire, or killed by friendly fire.\n\nMy father served in the Marines from 1950-1970. He was a salty marine, and an old timer, but he still saw action in Vietnam in 1966-1970.

"Nearly eight thousand soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines had participated in URGENT FURY along with 353 Caribbean allies of the CPF. US forces had sustained 19 killed and 116 wounded; Cuban forces lost 25 killed, 59 wounded and 638 personnel captured. Grenadian forces casualties were 45 killed and 358 wounded; at least 24 civilians were killed."

The US had not entered the war with the intention of gaining a colonial empire. However, at the end of the war the colonial ruler Spain was militarily crushed and the three remaining colonies (Cuba, Puerto Rico and Philippines) were in rebellion. The US felt if they did not take posession that they would be seized by European powers (a German flotilla did show up off of Manila Bay).

In my opinion unfortunately yes.  Not that it isn't worth note but it was just overshadowed by the Normandy invasion.
