      Not a chance. BOP and the few (1500) rebels CONTRAS weren't expected to be successful in regime change. They just needed to convince Russia to turn around and not deliver nukes. So success indeed. But more importantly, it wasn't highly covert for the CIA, we just gave up what assessts we had in place to military leaders when Kennedy (rightfully so) canned the intell heads trying to pitch attacks on America to him. The US military involvement was supposed to be covert and they did horrible with that....that's not our fault.

      @@EC-dz4bq I lived in Europe during the Cold War. If there was an invasion by Warsaw Pact countries we would have been too disorganized to make and keep records. It would be considered a "combat loss". Right about now, the Dutch farmers would probably want access to those warehouses. My information is 48 years old. I'm sure they were long ago moved after we started to play footsie with the Russians after the Iron Curtain fell. In America we have over 300,000 privately owned firearms. Probably as many government owned and stockpiled additional firearms. As each of my children would leave home to be on their own I would arm them well. Most went into the military: combat arms. Some combat wounded.

      Operation "Stay behind" (Gladio was only the Italian part) would not have been a great success. First the Russians were aware of that to some extent, including at least some persons names. Second at least the German part was plagued with incompetence to a level which is even entertaining in hindsight. And lastly at least some the weapons somehow wound up with criminals without the war ever occuring.
