The British gained control of Grenada from the French in1762 and Grenada gained its Independence from Britain in 1974.  In 1979 Maurice Bishop staged a Coup setting up a semi-Communist government with himself as Prime Minister.  In 1983 Bishop was overthrown and imprisoned by hardline Communist Bernard Coard his boyhood friend even though he still had the support of the majority of the People.  On October 19, 1983 Bishop was freed by his supporters and they marched to Fort George to entreat Coard and the Army to restore Bishop. Unmoved Coard had Bishop and 7 others including the Education Minister pregnant by Bishop lined up and shot.  Unhappy at the prospect of a hardline Communist country so close to the U.S. on October 25 the U.S. invaded Grenada.  Our Military unprepared as always relied on Tourist Maps and U.S. Bombers bombed Fort Frederick long a Mental Hospital thinking it was a Military Installation.  Of the 254 Patients 42 were killed Many maimed and the rest severely traumitized.  These Military Swine are so dumb we're lucky they didn't get lost head North and bomb us. Badly outnumbered and Technologically no match for the Imperialists Naval Bombardment Bomber Planes and Helicopter Gunships the 1500 Grenadians aided by 600 Cuban Construction Workers who had been building the Airport fought like Hell for a week before being forced to Succumb.
