But Che | But Che Guevara’s hate-obsession was actually the U.S. Most of the defenseless Cubans he murdered in cold blood, he murdered because he thought they were affiliated with the U.S. ("U.S.–backed" Batista, the CIA, etc.) In fact, probably 90 percent of the men (and boys, and some women) his regime murdered had no affiliation with Batista whatsoever and most had fought the Batista regime—but alas, as non-Communists. | ||
Since the U.S. government insists on these ethnic celebrations here's an idea: Instead of celebrating a foreign "Hispanic" who dreamed of incinerating and entombing millions of U.S. citizens and obliterating the U.S. as a political entity, why not celebrate a U.S. citizen of Hispanic heritage who voluntarily put his life repeatedly on the line to defend United States? Better still, this American of Hispanic heritage played a key role in capturing the foreign Hispanic who craved to murder millions of Americans. | Since the U.S. government insists on these ethnic celebrations here's an idea: Instead of celebrating a foreign "Hispanic" who dreamed of incinerating and entombing millions of U.S. citizens and obliterating the U.S. as a political entity, why not celebrate a U.S. citizen of Hispanic heritage who voluntarily put his life repeatedly on the line to defend United States?

Felix flew over 300 helicopter combat missions during the [[Vietnam War]], and was shot down five times. He won the coveted Intelligence Star for Valor from the CIA and nine Crosses for Gallantry from the Republic of South Vietnam. Later he battled Communists in El Salvador using a helicopter "mobile strike unit" scheme he developed in Vietnam. He flew over 100 combat missions in Central America, captured the FMLF's top commander and helped crush those Communist-terrorists decisively. All this was volunteer work. | Felix flew over 300 helicopter combat missions during the [[Vietnam War]], and was shot down five times.

But his mission was trying to save Che's life, to transport him to the Southern Command in Panama for questioning. | ||
Alas, | Alas, Felix’s Bolivian allies viewed the matter differently. And it was, after all, their nation under Communist attack. So they decided on a policy that has since become a favorite among Americans who encounter (so-called) endangered species on their property: "Shoot, shovel, and shut-up." | ||
Castro wants Felix Rodriguez's head and has sent hit-team after hit-team, after hit-team (including one lent to him by his late chum [[Yasser Arafat]]) to murder Felix and his family in Florida. In May 1975, General Joaquin Zenteno, a Bolivian officer who worked with Rodriguez on Che’s capture, was murdered on a Paris street. | Castro wants Felix Rodriguez's head and has sent hit-team after hit-team, after hit-team (including one lent to him by his late chum [[Yasser Arafat]]) to murder Felix and his family in Florida.
