Role in Venezuelan Society
The President has used this quote from Mao Zedong to explain and justify the participation of the FANB, in the work of national development. While the former armed force of Venezuela, always collaborated with the development of the country, also is true that from year 1999 here, that contribution and interaction with the country, has been carried very high levels. In fact, was created a national development program, using the capacities of the FANB: the Plan Bolívar 2000; and who directs the one called: Gran Misión “Vivienda Venezuela” the Defense Minister of the day, this program consists of the mass manufacture of housing. The Minister of defence, general-in-chief Rangel Silva, confirmed the commitment of the FANB as an institution that is convinced that support for the national development is critical in each of the missions.
President Hugo Chavez justified the participation of the FANB in national development efforts.
An element associated with this interaction with the Venezuelan society that has the FANB, is that Venezuelan society is considered to be the most patriotic second in the world, second only to US.

Famous quotes containing the words role and/or society:
“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“Every individual necessarily labours to render the annual revenue of the society as great as he can. He generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the publick interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it.... He intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.”
—Adam Smith (1723–1790)
