Choluteca and the Threat of War...

I've already talked about the contentious geopolitical climate of Honduras at the time of my mission in another post (see The Military Roundups of San Miguel...), so I won't belabor this subject too greatly here. But I do want to elaborate a bit more on the time I spent in Choluteca which is a Honduran city which lies just a few miles north of the Nicaraguan border.

The Military and the Roundups of San Miguel...

When I arrived in Honduras, it was a time of great upheavals and political strife. Honduras was literally surrounded by countries on all sides which were entangled in civil wars and rebellions. The armed conflicts were raging on all fronts when I arrived there in the early 1980s.
