End of an era - Castro had guts [got to admit that :D]

ps- i'm no Castro admirer
 
We can all thank him for helping end apartheid.

You are wrong.
Cuba never helped to end apartheid.
Cuba was used by the Russians to help in Angola.
The Russians couldn't get involved directly in the war as the Americans wouldn't have liked that.
 
The SADF gave the Cubans the biggest hiding in Angola that any army had received since WWII.
 
How many casualties did Cuba suffer in Angola?
 
The combined losses of Cuban troops and FAPLA troops numbered somewhere over 7000.
The SADF lost 31 troops.
