At least that's what you've been taught

maybe because there aint any

that if you go to cuba you'll find plenty of examples

As the term goes, "put up or shut up." >_>

allahdammit, my point is that every country glorifes its heroes even if that requires slight modifications to history books.

there, lets not carry on

I've studied his guerrilla warfare tactics, even US Marine Corps Major Larry Bockman called some of his strategies "Brilliant". But the more I've read about the real life of Che Guevara, the more disturbing facts come to the surface.
-He routinely personally executed his own men who were accused of being "spies".
-He sent execution death squads to ruthlessly murder his own men who deserted, along with enemy troops as they tried to escape.
-He played a major role in getting Cuba the nuclear armed ballistic missles during the Cuban Missle Crisis and stated, "If they had been under Cuban control, we would have fired them off".
-He personally executed hundreds of Batista supporters and loyalists after the overthrow of the Cuban government.

So my question is: Why is his face all over T-Shirts I see at my friends' college campuses here in America? Do people actually know who he REALLY was, or is it just a symbol they think is cool?

IMO Guevara wasn't a military hero, a revolutionary (his idealogy failed) or a symbol to be praised. What do you think?

Why do people rever Alexander The Great, and Genghis Khan? They were ruthless murderers aswell. Genious strategist, but still murderers.

my point exactly

Dude! they don't protecting! they've got the Zohan!

I think the main reason is because most game developers are men and men tend to portray women as eitherbig breasted, bikini clad warriors or slender, delicate girls that need to be saved.

That or they dont portray them at all

Or you could beat him with a belt while yelling "This is what life feels like." That also builds character.Guiltfeeder566

hmm, I think I'm gonna try that
