GOODBYE GENERAL






In a country like Chile, with our history, it's quite difficult to see people giving tribute to a person who wears a uniform, most of all if the weather is too bad. Two nights ago, the body of General Josè Alejandro Bernales, came back from Panamà. It was midnight, and cold to death. People went out to say goodbye. I never thought I'd see chilean people showing respect for a carabinero. But I have to say this one was different. Some time ago, I think maybe 2 years ago, I remember telling my husband "this one is different, he said some very important and true things today while he was being interviewed". Now I know I wasn't the only one to notice that.
