It was the times. We just got over McCarthyism but the "red threat" was still there. A small country on our border with tight ties to the Kremlin. U.S. Generals were all about breaking out the nukes and going for it! Kennedy used great restraint by keeping our hard liners in check while at the same time having to deal with Khrushchev. I'm sure his talks with Khrushchev to remove the missles from Cuba also included thoughts of what would happen incase of one of their unfortunate deaths while tensions were so great. And another bargain met! Khrushchev pulled the missles but what did we give in order to achieve this?

Some say it relates to Kennedys assassination. Who knows. The Kennedys had the Russians, Cubans, upper U.S. generals, the Teamsters, and the mob all pissed off! One of the five; maybe a combination of the five? Who knows what the truth is. Maybe it WAS just some nut job.

There's alot of dirty shit that goes on behind closed doors. Lawyers, Politicians, and Generals oh my!!!
