Back on those days, the Venezuelan military was decidedly anti-left wing, to the point of paranoia. I remember one day finding the “Communist Manifest” in a trash can in my barracks. I showed it to an alferez who made me burn it and swear not to tell anybody about the find, or everybody in the barracks would be in huge trouble, including calabozo time. That was the environment Chavez spent 4 years living in before getting a commission in the Army, which was indoctrinated by the infamous U.S ran School of the Americas in Panama (the same school that trained the Trujillos and Somozas). I went through the then standard anti-guerrilla warfare course, and it was a hard core course designed to eradicate (nice way to say kill) left wingers. I wonder if Chavez’s socialist ideas came after his commission or if he hid them so well for so many years. Love or hate the man, but he gave the poor in Venezuela a voice they never had, and improved their lot. Decades of previous democratic governments had failed miserably on that task, toeing the US line.<br /><br />Jose RodriguezJose Rodrigueznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-27260142910624776512013-03-09T09:31:43.930-07:002013-03-09T09:31:43.930-07:00how delightful to read obama getting the name of o...how delightful to read obama getting the name of our country accurately, "the united states."
