The most famous of all the units fighting in Cuba, the "Rough Riders" was the name given to the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt resigned his position as Assistant Secretary of the Navy in May 1898 to join the volunteer cavalry. The original plan for this unit called for filling it with men from the Indian Territory, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oklahoma. However, once Roosevelt joined the group, it quickly became the place for a mix of troops ranging from Ivy League athletes to glee-club singers to Texas Rangers and Indians.

Roosevelt and the commander of the unit Colonel Leonard Wood trained and supplied the men so well at their camp in San Antonio, Texas, that the Rough Riders was allowed into the action, unlike many other volunteer companies. They went to Tampa at the end of May and sailed for Santiago de Cuba on June 13. There they joined the Fifth Corps, another highly trained, well supplied, and enthusiastic group consisting of excellent soldiers from the regular army and volunteers.
The Rough Riders saw battle at Las Guásimas when General Samuel B. M. Young was ordered to attack at this village, three miles north of Siboney on the way to Santiago. Although it was not important to the outcome of the war, news of the action quickly made the papers. They also made headlines for their role in the Battle of San Juan Hill, which became the stuff of legend thanks to Roosevelt's writing ability and reenactments filmed long after.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
President Eisenhower could have had a better role in the Red Scare issue. Wisconsin Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy's witch-hunt involved people that worked in the federal government and the US military. President Eisenhower, as the leader of the nation and head of the executive branch, had the power and faculty to ask McCarthy for valid arguments and to prove his accusations. Because in the end, McCarthy's accusations could not be proven but what he did was to ruin many people's reputation.
In the movie "Life is Beautiful" Guido's death is related to the reality of the Nazi concentration camps, with the director bringing the approach that individuals were hostages of this situation and nothing could change it.
