CARACAS, Venezuela (AP)-On the fifth anniversary of a coup that briefly toppled him, President Hugo Chavez said Thursday that soldiers who disagree with his government's socialist leanings should leave the military.
Chavez marked the anniversary of his 2002 ouster repeating his accusation that the U.S. was behind the coup and telling troops to be on alert for new plots against the government.
"Today every commander at every level is obliged to repeat, from the soul and raising the flag high, this slogan: 'Fatherland, Socialism, or Death!" Chavez told an audience of soldiers in a televised speech. "If some feel uncomfortable with this, well, ask for your discharge and go do something else."

Yet another step on the path to tyanny.
Hitler made his officers take blood
oaths to serve *him* instead of the
country, too.

I sense an impending Night of the Long Knives in Venezuela.

Different event, but one of those is likely on the horizon. Instead of persecuting Jews, they will persecute anyone deemed to be “antisocial”.

“...ask for your discharge and go do something else.”
Right, and end up in a reeducation camp? I doubt they’ll be exposing their politics by requesting discharge.

Or they would immediately be conscripted back into the military only to be demoted to Buck Privates.

Chavez maybe stepping on his weiner here. I don’t think the military is going to continue to put up with his crap.
