Reply to comment by Fabulous-Fox3057 in When it comes to Cuba's military victory at the Bay of Pigs, does Che Guevara deserve any credit or should it be assigned exclusively to Castro's leadership? by Anglicanpolitics123

That's an interesting and valuable trait to have. Any particular reason he had such a base of knowledge? I imagine it's easier to be intimately familiar with an island nation than a continental one.

People who speak excellent English as a second (or third) language always write immaculately and then apologize for their English.

Meanwhile, people who only speak English-- poorly-- dominate the English-speaking internet. There really is no justice, is there?

Long story short: thank you and keep up the good work, u/Fabulous-Fox3057 !

It was in fact because he fished around the terrain and area the invasion was attempted which meant he understood the area extremely well.
