Sandino's influence

Sandino's life and consequent mythology are very interesting to me. When I was reading about him and his ability to invoke fear in his enemies and hope into his people I couldn't help but relate it to the legends of America. For example, when reading about him made me think of all the stories and anecdotes of Lincoln and and Washington and how they had so much virtue and character. I've read a number of things about both and i can't think of any negative thing said about either of them. Along the same lines it seems like Sandino is just one of those once a generation people who have the charisma to continue influencing even after they've passed on. The only real negative thing said about Sandino is his relationships with women. Unfortunately that was a black spot for him, nevertheless, he's been able to help so many of his countrymen despite this one bad aspect.
