These two grad students became enthralled with the Che phenomenon while visiting Cuba, and as they traveled the globe they began noticing Che posters, T-shirts, graffiti and merchandise everywhere they went. So they started a website where they could post their Che Spotting photos.
A site search at Che Spotting didn't turn up any pics of a Don't be a DouChe T-shirt, though. Too bad.
Guevara was a ruthless killer, and among his accomplishments was the Cuban missile crisis. Comandante Guevara was said to have been instrumental in getting the Russians to ship missiles to Cuba in the early '60s, and if Che had had his way, the world's first nuclear combat may have resulted, so the story goes. But people seem attracted to the myth of the character. An interesting phenomenon this fascination with killers is. Maybe Freud had a name for it.
Via.
Yeah well, everyone has their opinion of him. What he did is no different than any other military leader. As a matter of fact the US Army uses his book on guerrilla war fare. So now what?

Yay Che, someone in need of a military idol could certainly find plenty of suitable candidates in the US Army.
