No General Shortages in the Bolivarian Republic
2014-09-29
The military now has between 4,000 and 5,000 generals, compared with less than 50 in 1993, according to estimates by Caracas-based non-government organization Citizens' Control.

There is one general for every 34 servicemen in Venezuela, compared with one for 1,490 servicemen in the U.S., based on the latest figures from the countries' ministries of defense.
The Bolivar hit 100 to the $ yesterday, it is possible to buy gas for a year with that dollar. Much of the gasoline is imported from the Empire.
