The Bay of Pigs Invasion was just a complete disaster. Kennedy sent in rebel Cubans to try to overthrow Castro who was ruling Cuba at the time but decided not to have air support to help them. It is nicknamed a “perfect failure”.

They lived mostly east of the Mississippi, not in Florida or the states bordering the Great Lakes.
They attacked the axis powers in Germany, Russia and many other opposing sides of the war.
