Apples to Apples?

Do Now - 2/25

Is U.S. involvement in Pakistan the same as Che's involvement in Bolivia?

I think this is a fair comparison of overall goals but the exact specifics are not the same. You can compare the essential point of the U.S. in Pakistan to Che being in Bolivia; but, certain things, such as, the resources the Che lacked and the amount of manpower, navigation and technological support does not compare. The secrecy of the operation is comparable and the final goals are definitely the same. I think the means at which that goal is achieved are different and the U.S. involvement is just more modern than in Che's time. Overall, I think it's not wrong to compare these two occurrences, they're just not exact replicas.
