Day two of the invasion didn't go well for the United States either. Cuban militia and military, with the support of tanks, pushed the Brigade forces toward Girón in the early hours of the morning. We also had six bombers equipped with bombs, machine guns, and napalm (two being CIA) bomb six buses with militia, soldiers, tanks and other armor to the battle front.
Day three of the invasion was even worse then day two. Today was the final air attack on Cuba. We called it mission code named Mad Dog Flight. This included five B-26 bombers, two of which were flown by CIA agents. Two of the planes were shot down and four Americans died.
Without air support and running low on supplies (mainly ammunition) the Brigade had to retreat back to Girón. Destroyers USS Murray and USS Eaton both tried to get near the beach to get the troops out, but they were shot at and had to retreat away from the bay.
This day marks the day where the United States government is humiliated and defeated. Although we were never directly involved with the fighting, the world knows of our involvement and stupidity.
