The Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961 was an embarrassment for the United States because it was a failed military operation aimed at overthrowing Fidel Castro's regime in Cuba. The invasion was poorly executed, with inadequate planning and a lack of support, leading to the quick defeat of the CIA-backed Cuban exiles. The fiasco damaged the credibility of the U.S. government, highlighted the limitations of American foreign policy, and bolstered Castro's position in Cuba and his ties with the Soviet Union. It also sparked criticism of President John F. Kennedy's administration, which had authorized the operation.

The US invaded the Bay of Pigs because they wanted to provoke an uprising against Castro. Their invaders were Cubans who had become American citizens, so it would look like Cubans were having a rebellion against their own government, and that the US wasn't involved.
The United States only committed large numbers of American troops in Vietnam.
