It's not the first time the US has co*ked up in military operations and not always the fault of whoever is in power. Planning and operation is down to the Pentagon and if a President cannot trust their judgement then they should be replaced.

It wasn't Kennedy's plan, but he was pressured into as the rookie incoming President.
