Cuba and Vietnam are countries that I will forever respect. Both endured massive pain, Vietnam was colonized by the French and occupied by the Japanese, they fought both to gain freedom, the US came in with immense firepower, they wanted to burn every single bit of Vietnamese land... yet they won, they suffered an enormous amount of dead because of the nature of the war, these guys were literally farmers without much experience in war, they gathered what they could and gave the US and it's allies a hell of a time.
Cuba was, and still is, pretty much isolated from the rest of the world. A tiny island mere kilometers away from the Empire Mainland, they could have been wiped out of the map but they stood on. They're an example to all of us South Americans, they said NO to the US and up to this day they're still keeping their promise, I will forever admire Fidel and Cuba, I'm not in 100% in agreement with them but boy I'll fucking respect them till the very end.
