Has nobody ever BEEN to Cuba?

The Cubans have a universal draft. Most young men serve in the army .

Cuba supplies both soldiers and medical personnel to the United Nations for peacekeeping (And for relief work. Also agricultural technicians. University grads put in a few years in their professions in a similar situation.)

So not only does Cuba have a large standing army, but they are experienced fighters.

They spend a lot of time patrolling roads when they are home. The country would be better off if they were re-building roads, but Cuba lacks petroleum.

And the 'rebels' were to the LEFT of the Communist government? Why not a more believable gang supported by right-wing Cuban-Americans? And 40,000 rebels? From a population of 11.5 million, half of them under 20 and half of them women? That's less than 3 million adult men, and some of those are over 65.

DH says I can only yell at the screen during commercials.

Nice to see ActionGirl in sensible shoes.

So confusing.

The Cuban rebel was getting old, and looking to cash in his IRA (bad pun, I know).  He was willing to sell out the other guerillas for a huge payday from the Cuban government, financed by the American mogul, who was looking for an in with the government for nefarious development schemes.  Alas, our hero overheard them.
