Venezuela's opposition-controlled legislature makes new military offer
Members of the Venezuelan armed forces that abandon President Nicolas Maduro will keep their rank and be reinstated once a new government is in place, the opposition-controlled legislature said Tuesday.
The announcement marked the latest offer from the National Assembly, headed by opposition leader and self-declared interim president Juan Guaido, to try to convince more military personnel to switch sides.
A text approved by the National Assembly said it "guarantees that every military professional citizen who decides to restore constitutional order... will be reincorporated into the armed forces" once a new government assumes power.
The assembly said this would preserve the chain of command in a bid to assuage any fears the high command may have that they would lose their power and influence should Maduro fall.

Interestingly, I think it's a matter of time running out for both sides.
