[edit] Small Arms

Just a note, I doubt they use the Mac-10, Beretta M9, or the Uzi. Mac-10 is an american made weapon which wasn't designed until years after the revolution, Israel, which makes the Uzi, is a close american ally, and Beretta M9 is the sidearm of the united states armed forces, it's unlikely they would have gotten that contract had they been supplying to Cuba. If someone could post some sources I'd very much appreciate it. 68.0.144.113 (talk) 23:27, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

i made some changes about the Ochoa's case, for a more NPOV, and i have another doubt but i am not sure if it is ok to change that: the phrase "REPRESS DISSENT" doesnt seems very "neutral" maybe "control" dissent, or something like that... --Gotten 23:00, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] repressing dissent

I've changed to "suppressing counter-revolution". As a Communist, I think it's an accurate description and about the most impartial way of describing the imprisonment (and formerly execution) of political enemies. --Dafyddyoung 19:00, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

That edit has been revised again since January, I've now made it something that should work for everyone with the intention of keeping Wikipedia neutral. Eyeflash 13:03, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Compulsory?

Can someone add to the article wether or not military service is compulsory? I've been wondering. PHF 00:33, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I guess you could add more information to this page, end real information. If you allow me, I can help you in many ways. The information displayed it´s not totally wrong, but is a little distorted.

[edit] Military History

Would this be the right Cuba sub-page to present the history of Cuba's foreign interventions, such as their dogfights with the South African airforce during the Angola campaign? If not, where? - Eric (talk) 18:29, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
