Although the invasions were formally repelled, in each place the U.S. left behind an unpatriotic foreign-trained army that also had to be dislodged: a task that took longer to achieve.

The Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN) had to fight a civil war against mercenaries financed by shady U.S. deals, like the Iran-Contra affair that involved the sale of weapons to Iran during an arms embargo to raise money for the Nicaraguan Contras. In Haiti, President Jean-Bertrand Aristide tried to disband the army by decree and was removed in a coup. The struggle continues as Haitians work to prevent the reestablishment of a colonialist army under renewed U.S. occupation.

Twenty-five years ago, Nicaragua was the main destination of numerous USAID-financed non-governmental organizations (NGO) that served as the soft arm of a coloniaslit army. Now Nicaraguans are reclaiming their country, with the youth leading the charge.
