It doesn't surprise me that Hollyweird made this movie. They aren't his only "fan club".. I have seen many of our young soldiers here in Fayetteville wearing t-shirts with his face on the front, 2 of those young soldiers were SF candidates. I was very disappointed. Worse yet, when I asked one of them if he knew who that was on his tshirt.
SF Candidate: yup, sure do. That's Che!
Me: And? Who was he?
SF Candidate: He was a revolutionary.
Me: And?
SF Candidate: And what? (with that he just gave me a haughty look)
Me: You don't know that he was a cold-blooded murderer and terrorist, a die hard commie?
SF Candidate: Thats not what we learned in school. He really helped his people. (he exclaimed with a bit of righteous indignation)

All I could do was shake my head and walk away. I got a lot of dirty looks from him for the rest of the time.


My thanks to 8th Special Forces!!!
Now, somebody enlighten these young BOYS, please???
I have had a couple of similar encounters. When I see people wearing a Che t-shirt, I ask, "Oh, so you're a Communist?" Of course I get a stark, "no!" I ask if they know what country Che died in, or what his reasons for fighting were. No response.

Its a trend of immature defiance and rebellion. They know nothing about Che or what he stood for. If they did, I doubt they would wear it.
