Notes of interest... The military pays low end soldiers $33 per month - this is to pay for essentials like soap, toothpaste, etc. The soldiers we met were constantly asking for cigarettes, because they couldn´t afford the $1 or so per pack they cost.
There are 3 main armed forces in Colombia
1) Army
2) Guerillas
3) Paramilitary (Professional soldiers for hire)
None of them get along.
