Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.On a side note, I recall the episode of Top Gear (the British TV car show) where the hosts and TV crew went to Argentina. Eventually word got out that Europeans were filming and a mob approached them while they were driving and threw rocks at their vehicles and caused major damage. They had to flee the country.

I have to admit I was one of those teens who had subtle admiration for Che Guevara. I had watched the film Motorcycle Diaries and hadn't read about his background in depth. Do young people a favor and question them about the "leaders" they look up to.

Sugar coated by whom? In Argentina the Che Guevara is no liked / respected...not at all.
If they look up to Che Guevara they could be dangerous.
@DUCHESSA The air flight company Norwegian Airlines has a new flight route to Buenos Aires so they released a magazine listing things to do there and one of the main articles was about Che Guevara. They presented him in a positive light since they're trying to get tourists to travel.
The only good thing about that movie is the sound track by Gustavo Santaolalla...also Argentinean.
@DUCHESSA Yes! I did purchase the soundtrack.
I flew to the US from Sweden on Norwegian Airlines this past summer and a magazine talked about Norwegian's new direct flight route to Buenos Aires. I was amazed how sugar coated the article was when it mentioned Che Guevara, like oh he was a cool guy, go to his museum.

Calm down brother... he got what he deserved.
On another note. At the Che' memorial I bought a cool black Polo Shirt with his face and name embroidered on the pocket. Cuban flag on the right sleeve too! I wore it to work when I got home.
I was on a TS project at WPAFB. Fun times!!!
One final Che' note.
I gave my Che' Polo Shirt to the one star I Was working for when he PCS'd to Korea. Going away parties are great fun in the USAF. he sent me a pic taken at his squadron 'O' club over there, wearing it. I did keep a t-shirt I picked up at the same time. Not something to wear around my neighborhood though.
He was a guerrillero...a SOB....a very rich piece of crap.
@bigpawbullets Did you wear that T shirt in Argentina? Could be painful.
@DUCHESSA
Nope. I was in and out of Buenos Aires back in 1998 through 2006. We didn't visit Cuba until 2016.
@bigpawbullets Were you there with DEA?
@DUCHESSA
Nope. I worked for a pet food company at the time. The Iams Company. First addressing the non-issue of Y2K on all computer equipment, then building a large, automated pet food plant.
@bigpawbullets Well.....
@bigpawbullets, @Trajan61 Only the ignorants...
@DUCHESSA
I don't remember the exact year, but the Argentine currency was in hyper inflation. We had to pay the contracting companies building that plant in gold.
@bigpawbullets It could have been any year the Peronists were in power.
I toured the HUGE memorial and tomb of Che' outside Havana 3 years ago. Pretty much a Founding Father memorial there. Heavily guarded by a Cuban version of our "Old Guard". No talking! No pictures inside!
Every country has it's own version of history and the myths of their Founding Fathers.

-
Ernesto "Che" Guevara Lynch was not Cuban but Argentinean....and a member of one of the riches families (landowners) of Argentina..
-
He was a SOB and this was / is told by those who were unlucky enough to cross his path.
-
Castro order his murder when the Che not longer served Castro's goals.
- El Che is an insult to Argentina.
@DUCHESSA
I agree Duchess. No love for Ernesto in Buenos Aries when I was working there.
@bigpawbullets He was a guerrillero...a terrorist.
Did you piss on it?
@Trajan61
Lots of serious young men with AKs standing around. So I just took secret pictures with a GoPro.
@bigpawbullets Do you speak enough Spanish to grasp the double meanings / innuendos about the Che?
@DUCHESSA
I speak little if any Spanish at all.
@bigpawbullets I asked because in order to understand how a nation feels about a given person...specially a pig like the Che...one needs to manage the land's language back and forth.
@DUCHESSA
The subject never came up when I was there.
@bigpawbullets Probably a good idea.
