Cuban military operatives reportedly have been spotted in Syria, where sources believe they are advising President Bashar al-Assad’s soldiers and may be preparing to man Russian-made tanks to aid Damascus in fighting rebel forces backed by the U.S.

Gen. Leopoldo Cintra Frias, head of  Cuba's Armed Forces, recently visited Syria to lead a group of Cuban military personnel joining forces with Russia in their support of Assad, according to information received by the University of Miami's Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies.

On Wednesday, a U.S. official confirmed to Fox News that Cuban paramilitary and special forces units are on the ground in Syria, citing evidence from intelligence reports. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Cuban troops may have been training in Russia and may have arrived in Syria on Russian planes.

Well, geez, no wonder Obama is okay with Putin in Syria since his Cuban buddies are on board.

It's definitely a sneaky way to go about that.

The best Cuban fighter I know of was Teofilo Stevenson.
He died in 2012 at age 60
I know Che' was a good Guerrilla warfare terrorist general fighter.
Other that that, not sure Cuban generals are very good fighters, unless they are Soviet trained.
