Related: About this forumCol. L. Fletcher Prouty Explains the Bay of Pigs & Vietnam
I ran across this very thorough coverage of the Bay of Pigs invasion and thought I would share it
And it has as much relevance today as it ever has, and perhaps more because it is at the heart of what has corrupted us.
It is almost an hour long but well worth the watch.

very intelligent Cold Warrior. He was one of the very few late 50's to early 70's Intelligence operatives who's opinion I respect.

Curious as to whether you've read or seen his interviews or had other examples. Pretty much everything I've learned was by listening and watching him being interviewed.

But he is impressive with his knowledge.
