I grew up in Chile, under a fascist dictatorship installed after a coup that was bankrolled by the United States. This dictatorship happened in what had been Latin America’s longest running democracy. That dictatorship was in power for 17 years. This is not just a 4-year sentence.

Your daughter has died serving her country, and now you have to hide her identity because the President and his supporters will predictably scapegoat her for the accident.
