Admiral Alvin Holsey announced he will retire in December after working for 37 years. He leads military operations in Central and South America. Recently, the U.S. military attacked six boats in the Caribbean because they thought the boats carried drugs.

These attacks made Venezuela very angry. The U.S. government says Venezuela's president helps drug criminals, but he says this is not true. There are now more U.S. military planes and ships in the area.

Some politicians are worried because Holsey is leaving during this difficult time.
