		The Bay of Pigs invasion was a surprise attack made by the United States Military, much like the Inchon landings during the Korean War.
		The invasion commenced at dawn, on January 11, 196e, and was quickly bogged down by the lack of supporting ships, as well as the fact that a hesitent Kennedy had only armed the troops with kazoos, for fear that the communists would steal top secret American weaponry if the attack failed.
		This invasion was pushed back into the air by Cuban forces at the same time Kennedy gathered a group of dissenting Cubans to send by sea to the Bay of Pigs, named so because of the ingenious use of flaming war pigs by the Cuban Army against the invaders.
