Posted by friend and fellow ex-patriot in Nicaragua, Tucker Burton Teutsch Jr.: Augusto Sandino-the freedom fighter who fought for union rights for the banana workers of the United Fruit Company-the United States government sent in the United States Marines to get him, but to no avail. He was later killed, under a flag of truce. The Sandanista Party which was named after him- won the revolution against the USA-backed Somoza dictatorship. The USMC onslaught against Sandino and his fellow patriots was the first ever aerial bombardment of a civilian population. Ronald Reagan, after the Sandanista victory, covertly and illegally authorized war efforts against the government of Nicaragua through the illegal Contra operations.
