If I were to advise the characters on their choices I do not believe that I would have much to add if I knew how it was going to end up. It is viewed as one of the most successful military operations in history, the only problem is it took a whole ELEVEN days to go only TWENTY miles. This was a problem caused by "phase lines" and other ridiculous things that shouldnt ever go beyond paper because theyve been proven to be too costly and allow someone to respond before the lines are secure. This was proven in WWII when Montgomery constantly insisted on drawing phase lines on maps and sticking to them, frustrating many others because they believed that the only way to fight a mobile enemy is to remain mobile, not in silly attack, hold, wait, positions while the rest of the line catches up.

I believe that if there were to be a theme to this book (remember, its more of a documentary), then it would be that we should appreciate the great minds of the leaders and the great will of the soldiers who did their jobs to keep the original American ideals alive.

PANIC! blog post 1

In the first chapter of the book, it pretty much talks about the state of the [korean] war at the time (1950). It talks a bit about the prelude to the war with the Japanese and the soviets and all that, which arent very important to this post in detail.
The only criticism I have about this part is the 'boringness' of it. I compare this to the introduction to "the Steel Wave", where the introduction is a summery of the great state of panic and the disparity of the allied nations involved in WWII, the politics behind it and before it.

if you were stuck in peru and you could not get out, and you had only a mirror, how would you escape?

what did ernesto want to be thing

what he wanted to be is unclear, mainly because lots of his ambitions contradicted each other later in life. eventually though, it seemed that one his his goals was to have people go back to the barter system of trade, or at least that was the only alternative to what he hated, currency and capitalism. when he was younger, his interests made more sense, such as becoming a doctor.




Ernesto trying out for a role in a james bond movie:

Chile thing

worlds 5th largest exporter of wine.

Do Now, TMD, Che, Chile

In one town, they help the fire brigade and volunteer for the town. they gain many rewards from this. this may have influenced him that when people volunteer for the betterment of a community, things end up better for everyone.
pg.64
"ive forgotten to explain that after spending the night at the lieutenants house, we decided to move to the fire station.."

id have a picture that reflected this, but the only ones on google when you search 'young ernesto guevara' and other things, are pictures of his poster, him with a gun, book covers, or obama, so this shall have to do.


if the picture isnt showing, blame ceeje
