Day Six

Dear Journal,
I can safely say that I understand more about what this war is about and how we as revolutionaries are financed. I now know that we are freedom fighters and we need to fight to get ourselves out of poverty, disease, and corruption. I suppose it is going to a good cause. What we are doing is holding off the loyalists before launching a counter offensive on them. We want to overthrow the current government and firmly establish a new government, like in America. The armies of the revolutions are not financed well enough too have good food or enough ammo. And I really have no money of my own to spend. It is definitely not a job to get if you are in need of money. Because leaders of the revolution can’t afford to buy things they, threaten, negotiate, and even steal to get things their way. Today we actually got to eat well, I thought to my self if I were to die at some point in this war, it should be now. I stayed out of the action today with Juan, Nacio, and Lolo. Juan explained to us how the Captain steals to get his way, and that all revolutionaries didn’t follow rules. They were fighting hard to win. Using everything at there disposal. I feel like now I will never mean anything in this war if I don’t fight hard, and keep my composure. I know I’m better than that self-centered Juan. I just need to show it.
