I can't believe the army I am in. I don't even understand my own men. I thought that Captain Mendoza was a good man, but I was shocked today. I found out that one time after the revolutionaries captured a city, Mendoza stole money from the bank of the city and used it to buy his own airplane. He used the money of sick and starving people (like the people of my own village) to buy his own airplane. Of course I'm told that it's for the good of the revolution, but is it right? How can he just take from people like that? I'm so confused, and yet in my mind i know he must use it for the good of the people. He must be using it for the sake of the revolution. I heard he sometimes flies to America. Is he getting even more help for the revolution there?
Juan has told me that in a revolution we need to fight hard and sometimes unfairly. Is that true? The revolutionaries will torture and kill the loyalists like we did two days ago. And for what? For an insignificant map. Even Lolo seems to think that things like that need to happen for us to get information. Would they really do that to us if we were captured?
When the revolutionaries "arrest" people they never have good reasons, and yet the people they arrest are never seen again. I know this very well from my village. Soldiers would steal people from their homes because of small things. Are they actually fighting for the good of our country? For some reason I'm not sure if they are.
