The U.S. sent the USMC in the early 1930s to fight Sandino. The Sandinistas took power in the late 1970s and now they have a Pseudo Democracy. The Sandinista leader of the past Daniel Ortega is now on his 3rd term after they changed term limits. This country recently bought a bunch of T-72 tanks and Honduras said nothing. Now its a Husband and Wife Socialist/Communist Dynasty. The US Government is not happy. Hopefully they stay peaceful.

Thank You for the read sir. We did a CA/HA deployment down there in 2008, a year after he took over and the people at State were concerned about him and his Party back then. We did our HA missions Medical Assistance and Engineering projects in PRO America area Puerto Cbazas area were COL North was doing some stuff in the late 80's helping fight the Sandinista's. I will say they liked us there it surprised me, we were treated better way out there than in Managua. I learned a lot about that area being there and working with state, it is an important area, and country to us, and the free world.

Thanks for your service. My mother was born and again lives in Honduras as a retired 84 year old with dementia. I visit her every year by the Guatemalan Salvador border on the western side of Honduras away from all that. It was reported in the Costa Rican paper about Nicaragua up buying a bunch of t-72 tanks and some helicopters but Honduras does not care but they should be caring.
