School of Americas

[SIZE="3"]Yup. From there, I returned to Central and South America, to work the same mission, from a different operational perspective. What your propaganda doesn't mention is that the alternative to U.S.-sponsored counter-insurgency programs in Latin America was the triumph of Communist revolution. [/SIZE]

Don't talk pish Pino,anybody that didn't agree with the policy's of the rich establishment and big business (the US ) were targetted,what danger were the poor of latin america to the US.

Every country in latin-america has suffered directly or indirectly with US interference. Were the poor a threat to National Security :lightbulb:

[SIZE="3"]That's a Leftist myth. Look at how Cubans live. Is that the proud, U.S.-independent, Communist state that all other Latin American countries should envy? Hardly. Nobody wants Communism. It was shoved down innocent peoples' throats by intellectual elites supported by the 'heavy machinery' (ideology and materiel) of the USSR and Red China. [/SIZE]

Hardly. Nobody wants Communism. [/SIZE][/B]

"The United States has to realize ir does not own Central America or any other part of the world, and that people have the right to shape their own destiny, to choose the type of government they want. We don't lose Cuba, we don't lose Nicaragua, because they were never our's to lose."

Cuba, who's citizens have the same life expectancy of their US counterparts and which has free healthcare? Cuba which had the fastest growing GDP in the world? Cuba which discovered itself sitting on 1 of the largest oil fields in the West last year? Cuba which enjoys wide-spread support all over the world (especially africa), including in the US? That Cuba? :rollinglaugh:

Then how did a communist leader get democratically elected?

If nobody wanted it then there would be no reason to go in the first place? And who are you to decide what government other nations should have.

Given time the communist state would collapse anyway, correct? So what was the point?

I just returned from a week's vacation in Columbus, GA, home of Fort Benning, home of [SIZE="5"]SOA[/SIZE], to which I was once assigned, long ago, in what seems like another lifetime. I spoke with some Colombian troops undergoing training there. They looked sharp. I love Fort Benning.

[CENTER][SIZE="4"]LONG LIVE S.O.A., AND DEATH TO COMMUNISM EVERYWHERE, ESPECIALLY IN THE AMERICAS. [/SIZE][/CENTER]

[SIZE="3"]Communists have NEVER won popular elections. That's a myth, a lie, a con-job. The massive political machinery of the former USSR and Red China pervaded all Communist activities worldwide, and committed fraud on a huge scale, in every political sense. Give it up. Communism is dying, despite the lame efforts of its malevolent agents.[/SIZE]

School Of Shame more like :thumbdown: it wasn't just communist's these people murdered :lightbulb:

Salvador Alliende was democratically elected ! and your namesake with the help of the of the CIA and US military helped depose him.

The US has backed fascist dictators in nearly every country in latin-america !

The US should stay out of latin-america and let their own people decide who they want to govern.

Nope. The numbers were fraudulent. The people have always voted against Communism. Everything you've read to the contrary is a lie.
