>venecos are not a....fighting people
I do agree with this. I'm a military enthusiast, and I've never heard a good story about our military guys interacting with Venezuelan units. All I ever heard was about how the Venezuelan soldiers were poorly motivated, or not being properly supplied on our border with them. How did Simon Bolivar managed to drag them into independence? Presumably, kicking and screaming. I think that IF they do hold, it won't be out of any martial prowess or love for their government, but out of cheer bitterness and resentment towards the Americans due to the decades of sanctions (essentially economic warfare, really) that they've been subjected by the US, which, to be fair, is indeed part of the reason they have been suffering the way they are now.
