 the Kennedys were involved in sabotaging Fidel Castro. The person is incredulous that this could be. But I think that the situation isn't so easy to understand. John F. Kennedy is the person, after all, who sent the Green Berets, Phoenix Program, and Special Forces into Vietnam. These were death squads, and tens of thousands of Vietnamese died in the early 1960s under these programs. And it's true John F. Kennedy did not want to send ground troops into Vietnam.
