Lee Harvey Oswald shot General Edwin Walker

Major General Edwin Walker

I just heard this theory for the first time today on the radio.  Briefly, Oswald was a communist who loved Castro.  He tried to kill Major General Walker 7 months earlier because Walker wanted to invade Cuba and overthrow Castro.  In this theory, Oswald killed Kennedy for the same reason, because Kennedy was involved in the invasion of Cuba.

That's all I know about it, except for this link that came up when I googled "Oswald shot major general":  http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/walker.txt.  It's a good read.

Here is info about General Edwin Walker:
"Oswald planned the assassination for April 10 [1963]. Oswald's wife Marina said that he chose a Wednesday evening because the neighborhood would be relatively crowded because of services in a church adjacent to Walker's home, and he would not stand out and could mingle with the crowds if necessary to make his escape. He left a note in Russian for his wife Marina with instructions should he be caught. Walker was sitting at a desk in his dining room when Oswald fired at him from less than a hundred feet (30 m) away. The bullet struck the wooden frame of the window, which deflected its path. Walker was injured in the forearm by fragments.
According to Dallas Police Department records, neighbors witnessed two men at the scene of the crime, running into a car and speeding away. To the end of his life, Walker believed that there was another man serving as Oswald's accomplice, and he spent decades attempting to learn the identity of that accomplice."
