It's their family.

Lord help em, they need a regime change.

You don't know much about the Venezuelan military. They will fire on anylne they are ordered to. I've seen them fire heavy weapons into apartment buildings just to get at some presumed anti-government groups who may or not have been in the building. I watched them rake the university buildings and grounds with fifties from low-flying copters. Men and women were falling dead all over the place. The Venezuelan grunts are not concerned about human casualties, only obeying their leaders.
