#1 Brazil's military people are good people. I know some of them. They are disciplined, hard nosed, work hard and you don't mess with them.

A large city on the Amazon is not the cleanest, graffiti is every where. Until you drive past a walled military base/fortress in that city. There is no graffiti on the walls. Only towers every so often with guards in them holding chrome plated automatic weapons. The heavy chrome plating is there so people see those weapons glistening in the day light or night flood lights as a clear warning to any one who dares touch those walls.

The only people I saw near the walls on the outside was a stern looking sergeant standing over a privado (private) who was humbly picking blades of grass from between side walk panels one blade at a time. I truly believe "o privado" will not get into trouble again.

Capitão (Captain) Bolsonaro is exactly what S. America needs right now.

#4 I got your back, Brother.
This is going to be a very good thing for Brazil.

You are and always have been a mature audience. I need desperate help with South America and you are it.

May GOD Hold you, Bless you and Keep you Brazil!

You have Chosen Wisely!

#5 WHINSEC formerly - U.S. Army School of the Americas (SOA) was founded in 1946.

Brazilian army lieutenant colonel at Fort Benning named US Army TRADOC's educator of year

FORT BENNING, Ga. (May 17, 2018) -- Brazilian army Lt. Col. Rafael Novaes, an instructor of the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation's Command and General Staff Officer Course, won against U.S. Army educators across the globe to be named the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command's Educator of the Year for 2017. That means he is considered the best educator in the U.S. Army.

Some tough ombres.

#6 Bolsonaro's announcement that he will move the Brazilian embassy to Jerusalem will put him at odds with the tens of thousands of Hizbollah who have settled in the Foz de Iguacu region and Parana state. His other enemies are legion, and the fact that an assassin could get close enough to stab him is worrisome.
