A Bay of Pigs veteran and leader of Miami's Cuban American community is among the casualties in the Florida condo building collapse. Juan Mora was one of hundreds of Cuban exiles who took part in a CIA-funded operation to overthrow Fidel Castro in 1961.

and the Bay of Pigs Museum it houses, museum board member Humberto Lopez said Friday. Mora was “always trying to help,” organizing events, writing editorials about the invasion and emailing with other members of the veterans group, Lopez recalled.

Mora Jr. was a manager for Morton Salt’s road salt business in Chicago, according to a close friend there, Matthew Kaade, who graduated with him from Loyola University in Chicago in 2011. They lived in tents, eating food that was sometimes spoiled and drinking river water as they learned to use machine guns, grenades, bazookas and mortars.“We were so convinced about what we were doing to go free Cuba that nobody complained,” Diaz Arguelles remembered.

“There was no time to get scared,” said Diaz Arguelles, whose boat sank after hitting a reef, forcing him to swim ashore with a mortar tube and two boxes of ammo.

Looks like they didn't get all the dogs out in time after all

Finally some good news

20 plus veterans take their lives while 70 plus die from drug overdoses from meds they were rx'ed so that the US could complete their mission. 100 vets a day abandoned for the needs of the military. They don't need you once they break you. You're all accomplices VetSuicide

How can we work with this, DeptofDefense FBI? Investigations are manipulated. What do we have left? The CIA bet on a line, detonated a pipeline in Mexico, now track and control the reactions? The guy delivered the chocolate scheme, mouth open! NacoesUnidas Haiti Mexico Cuba

lol

is that really something to be proud of. i mean I'd be more likely to brag about being the CIA operative who tried to poison Fidel's ice cream with drugs to make his beard fall out

LMAO is the AP really running with a positive framing to the fucking Bay of Pigs invasion?

However, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who has previously defended the policies of Cuba's previous communist dictator Fidel Castro, has not yet issued a statement. Socialism sucks ambition out of the human soul! Bernie can take his old $$ down to Cuba and stand up with Castro against the freedom fighting mob. These leftist turds are past due in showing America the respect she deserves! 💯
