Cesfront, nothing to be envied

Much more demanding than being the military chief of the National Palace; much more risky than pursuing guerrillas in the highest mountains of the Caribbean; more risky than parachuting into enemy territory; more reckless than militarily challenging the United States; more deadly than emulating the patriotic feat of Francisco Caamaño…None of that compares with preventing, with weapons in all hands, an invasion of twelve million Haitians and an offensive in the rearguard of more than a million of their countrymen living on this side (which is why, without a doubt, being commander of the Cesfront is the least enviable thing in our Armed Forces).
