Name of the Brigade
I find the explanation concerning the name of the Brigade unconvincing. Given that Fidel Castro's revolutionary endeavour was known as the 26th of July Movement, which would be abreviated as 07/26 according to U.S. usage, and as 26/07 according to spanish usage, it seems to me that Brigade 2506 could have been named in reference to that date (2607) with the implication that the aim was to go back in time to the good old days of the Batista regime. Thus, the fact that the membership number of Carlos (Carlyle) Rafael Santana Estevez happened to be 2506 would have been nothing more than a fortunate coincidence for the leaders of the counter-revolutionary movement. This is just a theory of mine that popped up upon stumbling upon this article. Does any one else share this view? Am I the first to propose such a theory? Oclupak (talk) 08:23, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Terrorist
I don't see how the term "terrorist" would fit this group. The "bay of pigs" invasion was a military invasion against the government of Cuba. As for as I unerstand they have never attacked civilians. So I don't think terrorist is a good term for them. Perhaps someone has more info to show me the light. Thanks Callelinea (talk) 16:41, 10 September 2010 (UTC) The brigade itself weren't terrorists at the time of the invasion, but later paramilitary groups that used the name "Brigade 2506" (usually using it because these later groups involved Brigade 2506 veterans) were indeed very terroristic. Not to mention the B-2506 members who became terrorists later, such as Luis Posada Carriles. Wclark2052 (talk) 20:29, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

article deserves mention of later activities of group's members and re-use of group's name
First off, the article should have mention of what became of some 2506 veterans -- Mas Canosa went on to be a powerful political force, Posada Carriles became a terrorist, Felix Rodriguez became a CIA man who received many awards (though his career was mired in some controversy at the time of Iran Contra), etc. Also, it's been documented that the name "Brigade 2506" was resurrected a few times by groups of paramilitaries in Miami who had been involved with the invasion and continued to be active as militants.
