Most of these guys are retired military from the times when the US made sure the Colombian army was the most deadly force in the planet and could get away with almost anything, then they retired and their pensions didn't maintain the lifestyle they thought they deserved, so they do mercenary work for a few months and return home. The new guard in the Colombian army is kind of lukewarm on Petro, but they've been so thoroughly institution-pilled that idk if they have it in them to stage a coup. More likely they'll just be bought off and let things happen, rather than actively try to oust Petro.
