I was on a trip in Colombia, and several divisions of Army soliders started to go on the streets in Bogota, a major gun battle took place twenty five miles away where I was and over 98 rebels were killed. That was long time ago, a major morale victory for the Colombian Army who only lost five or six men. Then later, they started winning battle after battle, all the way up till today. But it was quite bad being in Bogota at the time.
Now you probably know why the Rebels (FARC, ELN, Drug Traffikers) are getting pretty desperate to deal with the government.
