In another controversial move, Bolivia's President Evo Morales has adopted Castro and Che's popular socialist slogan as their motto: Fatherland or death, we shall overcome! The Bolivian army first began chanting it this week during their annual ceremony commemorating the loss of their Pacific coastline to Chile. BBC reports that this move is seen as another step in Morales' efforts to "turn the army into his guarantors of his socialist revolution." The move is causing a stir amongst conservative military circles and civilians alike.
