Soon it will be a year since Maduro announced the purpose of bringing the militia force foot to almost two million troops. A few days ago he also informed that it is no longer an auxiliary body but a regular component of the armed force, together with the army, aviation, the army and the despicable national guard.
Over the past weekend, Nicolás Maduro has mobilized the Bolivarian militia and everyone laughs when they watch the videos of the leaked maneuvers to the networks. The order to deploy for defensive maneuvers throughout the territory responds to Trump's threat of "crushing" the mature tyranny.
It has already become a virtual lounge game to share on the networks videos that allow mockery of the militia's little military militia, of their disheveled, of their often ancient and less than symbolic armament, of their naive speech and their so little martial gestures
Lately, the digital chercha teaches with the militia and militiamen (forgive that: the inclusive language is all pervading ), either because of skinny or fat people, because they react in time to the order of weapons on their shoulders or because when they speak they break the erres in them.

Rejoicing at the shortcomings and precariousness of the hostages of a ration card has a lot of rudeness classism and is really a sad retaliation before the Venezuelan militarist barbarism.
I know it well because in the past, very easily, I have enjoyed myself many times in pointing out the functional and aesthetic chasm between a platoon of the Bolivarian militia bembona and, say, half a company of the British Royal Welch Fusiliers in costume of stop.
Already before, in the course of these twenty years of social redemption that Chavism has given us, the taunts have been directed at the generalotes of the regular army. I think the latter is preferable.
It is still remembered a military stop that took place last decade in which the commander of the group, an armored general, so obese, that he got stuck in the porthole of an AMX30 tank just when he asked Hugo Chávez for permission to start to the parade The rescue maneuver, broadcast on television, gave for a most Oliver Hardy scene.
The tanks I speak of were bought from France in the 70s of the last century and fraudulently "repowering" from time to time to generate bulky commissions to generals and arms merchants. They have never entered into combat; They were made for the peace of the Swiss accounts.
The blackjack at the expense of the Chavista militia reminded me of a question that once encouraged a newsroom in times of paper reels and linotypes. Why in our Spanish-speaking America has military humorism never prospered in the Anglo-American way?
I understand here military humor as a matter worthy of cinema and entertainment TV. The Anglo-American examples cover a record that goes from Beetle Baily to the comics through the series La marina de Mchale until reaching MASH, at the cinema.
A Latin American humorous television series set in one of our armies at any time should not be unthinkable. Mario Vargas Llosa paved the way with Pantaleón and the visitors: although the film version, produced at the end of the 90s, was not very happy, nothing would cost recidivism to achieve a superb, joyful antimilitarist teleserie, in the MASH tradition
The story of what Chavismo considers his foundational deed - a failed coup attempt, a comedy of errors, a bloody chambonada - lends itself beautifully to the genre.
These days, when with or without a foundation, many talents of Venezuelan exile are busy thinking about the reconstruction of Venezuela after Maduro, I dare to dream that one day they can shoot series of military theme that they recreate, without unctuous respect for memory de Bolívar - undisputed founder of militarism in our region - everything abhorrent, inhuman, cruel and sly (for all that, hilarious) that has meant military meddling in the civil life of Venezuela since the Battle of Carabobo to the present day.
