Thanks for the ping. I remember this going down, but wasn't aware of all the political issues. I just remember thinking it was the right thing to do.
Just today, I was browsing the site for my son's unit, the Nightstalkers, and remember seeing a link to one of their operations, "Operation Fury."
To add to the hostory, you might want to check out the 160th history of this operation.

Thanks, I'm also interested in the exact weapons they and their Cuban "buddies" used, small arms, heavier weapons such as RPGs, that kind of stuff.
