    ....estimated 30.000 killed and disappeared detainees. ?

    this not true , just distraction tactic.

    would it be the mask of the Army's frame-up ,quasi Malvinas
    invasion operation April-2-1982 !!??

    @4 very simple and let me describe it as follows ..... 1. the guy that killed Gral Villar had a restaurant in South Texas (reported missing) 2. one of the guys that was responsible for crossing arms from Uruguayana to Corrientes (montoneros) had a night club in Reynosa, Mexico (aslo missing) 3. 4 people were found (also montoneros) in the earth quake (reported missing) in 1987 .... Do I continue? those are people that I meet in person . Can you discount those from the 30,000?

    @7 ... what I'm trying to say is that we had a war!! War against terrorism, the same war that the americans , british and other countries are fighting right now. In any war you have casualties so please Argentina don't give me the bullshit that all 30,000 (assuming that data is correct which i doubt !) are missing... some of them that claimed missing live somewhere else!!. That's what I'm saying! when an individual grabs a gun and kills policeman, innocent soldiers and kidnap people, those are not civilians , they are COMBATANTS !!

    Of course we can discount them!
    Not necesary to name them by name. (Sweet of you to protect their privacy 35 years after:-)
    We trust fully in the word of an Argentinean officer and a gentleman like you………..

    30.000 – 6 = 29.994

    But.......Please, please…..please........Continue the good work!
    Only 29.994 missing now……..

    #10 right !

    you all and i know that this social tumult has being only a mechanism.
    the question is simple ;
    why was the army attempt to Malvinas invasion -1982
    to acquire the islands ? No ! then why ?
    (a fake African country army doesn't even make this kind of operation)
    the answer is complex.

  • WestisBest

    The Answer isn't complex at all. They invaded the Falklands because they thought they could use the successful occupation to distract the Argentine people from what a mess they'd made of their own country....unfortunately for them and thanks to the British it was not successful and the regime fell because of that failure. I'm sure the British know that all your abuse on here is actually tongue-in-cheek and in truth you are all really grateful to them for nailing the lid on the Junta for you.

    @10. were the Falklands a terrorist threat in 82 then? you're full of crap mate.

    I am in two minds:

    (i) I lived through and admired the work of Simon Wiesethal in remorselessly, and over a long life, hunting down his every last German/Austrian nazi until he breathed his last breath.

    (ii) I lived through and admired the work of Nelson Mandela who, after many years of incarceration, pressed for the Peace and Reconciliation process after the amnesty followed the collapse of Apartheid in South Africa.

    In Argentina - following, arguably, high-grade state terrorism - there is the worst of all worlds - amnesties, de-amnesties, amnesties, de-amnesties; freedom through forgiveness, punishment and incarceration, freedom through forgiveness, punishment and incarceration.

    In Brasil, A Presidenta wants to overturn the amnesy afforded to all participants, but only to bring charges against the military side (lower-grade state terrorism?) - the terroristas/freedom fighters are given pensions for their contribution.

    One-sided de-amnistification seems to be the worst of the worst of all worlds, but it is perhaps understandable because so many international terrorist/revolutionaries are in high government office in a number of South American nations.

    Mandela has set the bar very high indeed, but can ANY South American nation clear it. It is, perhaps, just the sign of political and social maturity that the United Nations is looking for.

    . . . . Time, I think to sit back and wait for my mate Forgetit to show me other sides to these many histories.

    South America countries...

    They have few companies which related car dealership,pasific

    It's amazing. No-one was on the junta's side. And no-one supported the Falklands operation. All those tens (or more) of thousands of people celebrating in the streets were figments of the imagination. Selective amnesia. Very common in many psychiatric cases. No doubt explains why Argentina has so many psychiatrists.

    Let us not forget that, had the unsupported Falklands operation been fully successful, i.e. had Britain not responded with military force, the next part of the plan was the seizure of the Beagle Channel islands already ruled to belong to Chile by the Court of Arbitration in 1977. Another “unsupported” action that would, no doubt, have resulted in dancing in the streets.

    @Artillero - You may well have been in the military at the time, and maywell have been following orders from the dictatorship. Though ultimately it is you that decides whether those orders are jusified, and am sorry but following orders from people killing their own people is wrong. You may feel that the people you were ordered to kill/fight were terrorist, but are you sure they were not just simple freedom fighters, fighting for the very values that you now currently enjoy and defend!

    @42 you are right but on every story there 2 sides ... we didn't start the fight . Started in 1962 and the cold war with Russia expanding the empire and marxism in Central and South America. This was not a problem with Argentina only as you know. I disagreed with the Junta (as you called it) to take over the government, our duty was to destroy the uprising and bring peace to our citizens. You as an English man (I think) condemned the attack on 1982 and I respect that but we are talking about 2 very distinct issues here. We fought for freedom, we won the war but we lost battle. Armed forces should not run the country period !!. Its a very complex issue that if you come to Texas, you are invited for a awesome BBQ to discuss it

    Martin your post #47 shows your biased view against anyone writing in english or any other langauge other than spanish it also shows a complete lack of respect you have for people that do not know spanish and the rules of this site. Your second post #49 shows your childish arrogance and how quick you are to throw insults at people.

    I was simply pointing out to you that the site is a global website, it is an english one hence www.en. at the start of the web address, and that merco press as a global news site based in south atlantic and they choose to use english as they are trying to establish themselves as global news agency. Critising me and throwing insults at me, for pointing that out to you is just childish and immature.

    You say you weren't talking to us guys, sorry but as this is a public comment board you are talking to everyone that reads the comments. i do not mind you talking spanish as i can translate it, so it doesn't actually bother me what langauge you speak. I unlike you do not disrespect people for their choice of langauge so long as it is not insultive, vulgar or offensive.

    Your reaction was simply way over the top. And as for insecure little man. Well am a multi-millionaire businessman (yep pretty secure financial and pyschologically) am 14 stone in weight, 6 feet 3 inches tall and a former amateur kickboxer (still practicing but no longer competitively). So lets see you call me a insecure little man to my face, and i'll show you just how wrong you are.

    63,

    Interesting, will have to look into it.

    “abanico de oportunidades en varios campos del momento que desde el hemisferio norte se la identifica como quizá uno de las pocas prístinas o “por descubrir” que van quedando en el mundo”

    Sounds like a badly translated statement

    'Se la' cannot be followed by 'uno', and 'prístinas'... pristine is a very common word in English but I have never heard it used in Spanish, not in its direct equivalent.

    It shouldn't be hard to see if this address is really an office or just a front for an agency that isn't really there.

    Thank you Marcos

    i want to post this for coment ..... Bolivia is increasing the pressure to Chile on the “Pacific access” . Is this a case of changing public opinion or a true request for what it was lost in the Pacific war. Your comments

    Evidently a subversive Jewish-Marxist complot organized by a perfectly identified minuscule seditious group exploiting the ignorant indigenous people of Bolivia to destroy the Christian and Occidental values of the Chilean society.

    Does this”Proceso de Reorganización Nacional” jargon sound good enough in your Tex-Arg ears?

    Don Think, is that you or somebody logged on your computer and posted that on your behalf. Very impressive!!! Are you saying that the PRN in Argentina was organized by the Jewish Marxist also? I will be in Buenos Aires in November , I believe you owe me a cup of coffee to discuss this.

    Apparently you have nothing to hide…….. Let me “guess” now…..

    In 82 you where a young cadet in Palomar so you couldn’t participate in the “Patriotic Feat of 76-82”….
    You can recite by hearth every battle the Argentinean army has participated in since 1810, but you are unable to spell “Grupo de Tareas” properly…..
    You are quite fond of your surname’s “uniformed” tradition…

    I live in Chubut…………. and no, we are certainly not having a Smoko together.

    jajajajaja!!!!!! Think, are you part of SIDE? you are a well educated individual .... were you part of the Intelligence Community? do you have my file in front of you? You are right, in 82 I was a cadet (2nd year) of CMN, right after April 2nd, the 4th year graduated and sent to reinforce the units at that time, some went to war, some went to protect the border with Chile. Grupo de Tareas or Fuerza de Tareas, same thing no?

    Martin...why are you so angry? Were you dropped on your head by your mother? Was she a crack addict? Or is because the Falkland Islands British it turns you into an idiot? Come to the Falklands and when you come, act how you act in here, I am sure you will get a lesson of a lifetime.

    I bet you call me an insecure little man, because that is the only insult you seem have... did someone call you an insecure little man once, and now you are over compensating because you know you are an insecure little man?

    Please… No insults …….

    I would rather slit my wrists open with a pencil eraser than consider the possibility of having anything to do with the SIDE.

    My ”educated guesses” are just deduced from info you provided:

    Your nick….: Artillero601…. Ergo: Army…… Ergo: CMN

    Your dichotomy between genuine interest / preset bias about recent Argentinean history + your anger but no “messianic hate” against the “zurditos”…. ..Ergo: Camada posterior al 83.

    Your casual “Name Dropping” when giving your Email…….. (I must confess, it hit me as a 155mm)…. Last “Uniform” I knew with that surname didn’t like us at all. (nor the Chileans)

    what did it hit you like a 155 mm ? (CITER or SOFMA) 20 km or 30 km with special ammo? was a Direct or INDIRECT artillery fire? was the FO (forward observer ) close to you or was directed by satellite? Are you saying that my last name is associated with Mario or Luciano Benjamin?? .....jajajaja!!!

    Going back to the original article. Where there any abuses.....yes. Where there any exageration in numbers...yes! Did the ones who dissapered understand the word “Martial law?” Everyone remember the ones who dissapeared. But what about the kidnappings, the robberies, bombs in schools, killing foreign companies executives....sabotaging naval ships, attacking military bases...etc.
    More interetingly...where does Nilda Garre come from? and CK? student activist! Do you really want to know what they did at the Universities?
    it is 1975 all over again...it is a matter of time!
