As of 1:10 p.m. Bolivia time this date in 1967, Ernesto Che Guevara was no longer a man: he was only a god. The Argentinian-born doctor turned Cuban revolutionary icon and the man who wrote the book on guerrilla warfare had put abroad to foment insurgency. His efforts in the Congo foundered; his bid to replicate the Cuban revolution in Bolivia was doing likewise when he was captured. After holding him overnight, the government sent a coded order to execute him in the field. Che had done the same thing with his own hands to several who betrayed the Sierra Maestra guerrillas.

He didn’t get enough free helicopter rides, either...
Well,... bye.
Bullets were to quick. That torturing, murderous bastard should have been slowly fried to death with a blow torch imho.
Castro didn’t shed a tear. He got rid of a rival, and had a “martyr” for The Revolution at the same time.
M2 Carbine, wasnt it? Dead enough.
Beat me to it!!!!!
I wonder if Che greeted Castro after he died and welcomed him to his new abode?
It is my fav.
I remember early 1967, when the CIA declared Che officially dead. They also declared Gen Giap dead.
Giap was definitely not dead, and Castro proclaimed Che alive, releasing a photo of Che shaving off his beard.
It may have been the CIA’s way of smoking Che out of hiding.
A few months later Che was definitely dead, and two movie companies started making films about him, one in Italy and one with Jack Palance as Castro. I never seen either of the films.
Marion also fought a tougher opponent than the dispirited Cuban army that Che was up against. Che also failed in his subsequent guerrilla campaigns.
A woman in Miami said her family decided to flee Cuba the day after Che and his gang of assassins killed the family next door including the thirteen year old daughter, her best friend.
You cant rate Che with Pol Pot, Moa or Hitler. He was never a head of state.
He would have to be ranked against Heinrich Himmler or Reinhard Heydrich
“Tickle, Tickle——
TICKLE!”
Che murdered men, women and children for the entertainment of Earnest Hemingway.
RE Helicopter Rides:
Dangling from a fast-rope upside through some tree tops would have improved his attitude for sure... :^)
Dawg Brother Bobby... Great minds think alike... :^)
Yeah, but... a couple more in the face... so his own mother wouldn’t recognize him.
Commies deserve zero quarter.
Like a baseball card in bicycle spokes...
In other words “fwappity-fwappity-fwappity”...
Yeah... I LIKE that imagery!!!! Lol!
