(4,341 posts)They are not the bravest soldiers you will find, they will run for cover, they are not used to being shot back, they are only brave when they shoot innocent people who do not shoot back. They are ill-prepared, they have never seen combat, an example is their aggression against Venezuelan indians, rifles against spears and bow-and-arrows, the army killed a few natives but the natives were able to capture two of the army's leaders and they still have them arrested. The natives, with spears, bow-and-arrows were also able to injure a few of the army soldiers and send them on a retreat.
The fact that there may be 130,000? and I don't dispute that number because I really don't know, does not mean much. Now, there is another fact, and the reason why so many soldiers have defected to Colombia and the numbers will continue to rise...Cubans have infiltrated the Venezuelan military, Chavez and Maduro later, appointed many of these Cubans to high ranking positions, which is illegal of course, but what else is new, so the soldiers hate these Cubans, so more of them will be crossing to Colombia every day, and the day that the coalition decides to attack, most of the ones remaining will take their uniforms off and hide.
Also, USA is not alone, Colombia/Brazil/England form the coalition, in spite of what the Brazil vice president said yesterday.
