"If we [Cuba] still had nuclear missiles,we would have used them against the very heart of America including New York."

"To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary... These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate."

"Hate as a factor in the struggle, intransigent hatred for the enemy that takes one beyond the natural limitations of a human being and converts one into an effective, violent, selective, cold killing machine. Our soldiers must be like that."

All of these quotes are also from Che.

Yea, I don't think the people that are idolizing him in this country quite understand he'd have been happy to see them dead.

This was on a beater Jeep found outside a local community college. I think that pretty much says it all.

Read the wiki on him, and you'll understand what I really don't like about it's editing policy.

It is well worth noting that when Che stopped being rhetorical and started being operational, he was killed in a matter of weeks.

Soldiers fight because they care about their buddies. Warriors fight because it's fun. No wonder the soldier usually wins.

Air Force veterans express concern that the academy no longer emphasizes leadership but warriorship (http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/11/08/5093/).
