So I watched this the other night and it kind of put things into perspective.  Granted I wasn't around for this, and I have limited knowledge about it, maybe others can give their $0.02.

Film is about the Cuba Missile Crisis staring Kevin Cosner.

1) Kennedy seemed like he was being cornered into a military action by his generals.  IDK how much of this is true, but we could saw we saw the same concepts against Trump.  Which he nor Kennedy didn't fall for. Example: Nuke detonation still being done as testing and missile test launches, and bombers flying by accident into Russian air space, which all sends a message to Russia.  I mean no one at the time thought it would be a good idea to cancel all of the above?  Was the missile warning here an error by the button pusher.  I mean there are multiple steps that need to be done before pushing the "button". So an accident seems unlikely. Tin foil.

2) Bay of Pigs mentioned. I did a quick search and looks like a failed CIA led coup against Castro.  Basically CIA trained rebels and left them high and dry when they invaded. Which they were decimated by Castros army and air power.  Reminds me of when we left A-stan, but over a longer period. We trained the ANA and like forces, only to leave them high and dry recently.  Same thing done in Desert Storm. We left once we Sadaam surrendered, but didn't have him also surrender his air power. Which was used to decimate any uprising.  Which guarantees another war.

3) Stated in the film that Kennedy has no plans of invading Cuba anyways. So the profit from the war machine is now lost with no war to make money on.  Another POTUS wanted us out of A-Stan and to stay out of new wars.  So you wonder why both men were wanted to be out as POTUS. 1 was assassinated, the other cheated.  Which also leads to his brother Bobby, who may have a chance at rising in politics. He too was assassinated

4) Mentioned multiple times in the film the Kennedy family has money. So they don't need to profit off of the above.  Same like another POTUS we know of.  Has his own money prior to running.  But Kennedy did run after WW2 until he worked his way up to POTUS. So 1 could say he is a career politician.

5) What is a side note is MacNamarra's wiz team is there, but not officialy called that or referred to in the film.  Basically a think tank, but they later made a huge mistake when the M16 was released by changing the powder that is to be used in the ammo. This probably caused major jamming and lives lost.  Although no official record of how many was ever done.

So lots of tin foil here. Overall, the movie was very good. No boring points.
