    About the same, maybe less. It depends on how far they got.

    When Venezuela falls and the US goes in to pick up the pieces, these guys may come home.

    Default Venezuelan court sentences two former U.S. Green Berets to 20 years for role in botch

    Two former members of U.S. Special Forces were sentenced to 20 years in prison by a Venezuelan court for taking part in a murky raid in May to oust President Nicolás Maduro, the country’s attorney general announced on Twitter.

    In the only official statement on the previously unannounced trial, Tarek William Saab tweeted late Friday that Airan Berry, 42, and Luke Denman, 34, admitted “to having committed the crimes of conspiracy, association, illicit trafficking of weapons of war and terrorism” in connection with the botched mission known as Operation Gideon.

    They were idiots looking for adventure. As stupid as going to North Korea for vacation and lifting a propaganda sign from your hotel room as a souvenir.
