I now have a new understanding of how revolutions are financed, fought, and run. The revolutionaries often have a great disadvantage because they are poor, and they have a minority of people. Because of this they (including Captain Mendoza) don't fight fairly. Captain Mendoza stole money from a bank in a city the revolutionaries took over so he could buy a plane. This le him fly to the US to find more people to fund them in the war. Revolutionary strategies can sometimes be a little unfair, but that's how commited we are: we will do whatever it takes to win the war. Another example of unfair things the revolutionaries do was when they took me from my home. They, without permission snatched Lolo, Ignacio, me, and many others from their homes and forced us to be soldiers. This is unfair to us but, as the great Captain Mendoza says: "Anything that will help us win the war!"
