The Bay of Pigs Invasion (known as La Batalla de Girón, or Playa Girón in Cuba), was an unsuccessful attempt by a CIA-trained force of Cuban exiles to invade southern Cuba with support from US government armed forces, to overthrow the Cuban government of Fidel Castro. The Invasion was launched April 17, 1961. (Wikipedia) The Cuban Missile Crisis was a confrontation between the United States, the Soviet Union, and Cuba in October 1962, during the Cold War. It was an effort of the United states to prevent Russia from delivering missiles to Cuba, which would be a direct threat to the national security of the United States.

There is no set answer to this question, purely opinion related. Although there is seemingly little to provoke a limited nuclear exchange (it is common theory among theologists, that a nuclear strike is the only thing powerful enough to bring full world wide conflict), do not feel so comfortable. History has shown us how close it can come. (Cuban missile crisis)
How did the Cuban missile crisis affect public opinion about president Kennedy?
I was a child, but I recall it as a time when most people were proud of our strong and restrained leadership. Kennedy had the wisdom and courage to say "You shall not pass", and he saw to it. Remember that this was the height of the Cold War, and we feared that the war might be quickly getting "hot". But Kennedy stood firm, and the USSR relented.JFK had not told the people of America about the Cuban Missile Crisis because it didn't want to worry the people. What JFK did was the best thing for the people and it was the right thing.
