“However he insisted that current difficulties or petty squabbling “should not distract us from the big task for the future” and as brotherly peoples “we must be true followers of those who shed blood in the fields and that means the fight continues. The robbed us of our past, don't let them rob us our future”.
The only people who were robbed of their past were the people of Uruguay when the stupid Tupamaros couldn’t see that the military would NEVER have given the country to them EVEN if they had defeated the military, which they could not and did not. Military rule was a DIRECT result of these stupid, brainless bastards who even today are fucking the country up. But not for much longer.
“We must keep on fighting for independence and for the large motherland of all our peoples in the continent”.
Who does this remind you off? Yes, the hypocrite from the North who doesn’t live here, doesn’t pay taxes here and his exiled mother and father who have now returned are getting a free pension off their grateful, if idiotic Tupamaros of today: NONE OTHER THAN STEVIE.
He's really pissed that he didn't get to help Argentine colonialism and wave a white flag.
Dec 21st, 2013 - 09:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm sure that someone could award him with an honorary white flag to wave.
Chris is really pissed off..
Dec 22nd, 2013 - 12:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0Chris, old man. How can the Tupas be responsible for the military dictature when those happened all over the south cone? Are they responsible for the coup in Argentina as well, or was that the Montoneros? In Chile, was it the Tupas, MIR, or just Allendes fault?
Because we all know it wasn't the torturing, murdering military that is to blame, don't we?
You have no clue whatsoever about our history, other than what you may have googled, and here you are, talking shit...
@7 what about the murder of Pascasio Báez, a peasant murdered by Mujica's criminal associates with a lethal injection for simply stumbling across a weapons cache, having been kidnapped for 2 months? And yet the scoundrels from this gang of killers get elected or appointed to the highest offices in the land. Scum, scum, scum, scum, scum, that's all they ever were.

Stevie, if you're anything like as tedious in day-to-day life as you are here, then I'm sure even the Xmas card from your parents says “STFU”.

Dec 22nd, 2013 - 04:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So you are telling me that ALL the militaries in the southern cone suddenly UNITED TOGETHER to subjugate their peoples. Ha, ha. FFS stop lying.
I say this for you; you are consistent in the crap you come up with.
It was Uruguay, Stevie, Uruguay FFS! Your lot, the uneducated, (most had NOT finished school) unintelligent (looking at how they are fucking up the country) that managed to get the military up from 1% of the budget when times were stable, if not to the Tupamaros fancy, to 26% after the Tupamaros blew it by murdering an American Policeman who was assisting the training of the police and the Metropolitan Guards who seem to have had more Tupas in them than the Tupas themselves.
The Tupas nemesis was the Uruguayan military (NOT any other country) and your lot failed to defeat them. It only took them from April 1972 to November 1972, SEVEN MONTHS and your lot had either runaway or been captured. I have to say the army were predictably clumsy and unwilling to take the necessary actions, relying instead on moves that upset the citizens when they were fed up with the Tupas. Good job you didn’t have me in charge is all I can say. The lesson which the army did not learn was that of how much the early Tupas were afraid of dying. When a student was killed in the student riots, they let Pereyra go! Then the stupidity began: your lot started to target individual policemen for murder. BIG MEN the Tupas! THAT was the point when somebody like me and the military would have stopped it dead. Very few Tupas, all frightened to death (of death): executing as many as possible that fell into a net of intelligence (not blanketing areas) and posting photos of the future for all of them would have started the runaway at that point.
None of the other deaths would have taken place, etc. etc. The government were in fact too soft and didn’t realise the risk that the country faced.
We are still facing the stupidity risk today in the present government.
Do the Germans give medals for Austrians or like-mindeds who served their regime in WW2? Do the Japanese? But the Argentines? Oh how they LOVE their Junta when they can proudly and gleefully reminisce how they got to step on people's necks for the crime of saying “no” to them, even when it meant more years of disappearances, torture, breaking up of families and out-and-out murder at home. No price too small to pay as long as a boot was on someone else's face.
Dec 22nd, 2013 - 08:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Irredeemable fascists. Do they have ANY clue as to how outsiders see this? And how could they NOT?
Can we organise a (lawful) rematch, Jailbird Commie Nutjob against a Gurkha, with free popcorn? I'd help with the sponsorship.

That would be fun but to make it more entertaining on live TV there could be a draw where Mr 'Kilroy Slik' has to draw out his adversary from a hat.....Tonight Senor Rosadilla you have the chance to relive your glory by rematch. Now the grand draw will commence live on the top of Tumbledown in June. You will either face a)-a Ghurka, b), a member of the SAS, c) a member of the SBS, d), a Scots Guardsman, e), A Para, or F), a Bootneck. Good luck in your drawer senor, and may the best man win..........

Shame he did not manage to serve in 82, with his previous experience, the RG's could have put him in their Special Forces.
Dec 23rd, 2013 - 05:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You know, something along the lines of the Special Bank Robbing Service!
@18 Chris R
Dec 24th, 2013 - 10:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes-he'd loose some weight very quickly. Just to be kind the 'TV programme' would only show him cartoon pictures of his adversaries-to ensure he retained some internal fluids before meeting a live version of his choice.
I guess he would have the option of waving a white flag and running to Stanley (as a proud re-enactment of his would-be comrade's actions).
@19
He probably 'volunteered' for their special forces too.
The difference between the British troops (all volunteers), and this nobody is they turned up and he .....didn't.
He could have done a good job stealing from Falkland Island houses as was the case at Goose Green in 1982 when the Argentines showed their true colours when it came to human rights.
ignoring the rampant hormones...
Dec 26th, 2013 - 06:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0can anybody explain to me how this “award” is supposed to look to the world outside of Argentina?
It appears to be a nation honouring somebody who wanted to be involved in an action that the UN has voted on as having been absolutely and entirely illegal, operated out by a regime known as torturers and murderers by their own countrymen...and yet the same nation, who supposedly tell us they now love peace and cannot abide war, are honouring somebody willing to fight on that side.
I just dont understand how this does anything other than show the utter 'two-facedness' of the current Argentine government and cast total and irrevocable doubt on their claimed commitment to peace and the UN as a way to solve disputes.... the UN abhorred the invasion...
Surely even the most brainwashed Argentine can see the obvious double-standards?
@21 and the icing on the pudding is that the person “claims” that he opposed the Junta that his erstwhile volunteering would have kept in powering. He was perfectly fine with more torture, more murder, more disappearances so long as he could put a boot on some innocent person's neck. At the end of the day he's just another rancid piece of Chinese restaurant pork. Red on the outside, fascist goose stepping brown on the inside as are the rest of the “anti-fascist” fascist-loving and fascist-wanabe Malvanistas.
Dec 26th, 2013 - 07:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This Uruguayan Senator has seen more action, albeit against his own countrymen, sadly his aim was not true.

@ 23 Mr Ed
Dec 26th, 2013 - 09:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A setup for the press if ever I saw one.
Even an argie could hit somebody with a pistol from 6 ft, unless of course it was firing blanks so that they couldn't hurt anybody!
And when you are in a gunfight you are best advised to get your gun out before they “crack him over the head” with theirs. Good job it was his head and not somewhere important.
@24 well it is still action, a make-believe fight against make-believe enemies seems to be the way of things for the Senators in Uruguay, other reports I have seen were more detailed, but perhaps the Argies will give him a medal in 31 years time when it is 'discovered' that Imperialist, Colonialist agents of the FIDF had attacked him instead of Rosasilla, a simple mistaken identity rather than Rosadilla forgetting which country he was from and who his enemies were, but frankly better a Junta than the tupa-loopers.

Dec 27th, 2013 - 02:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Fighting imperialism is not a right or an option. It's a responsability, hence Rosadilla signed up. He fought the fascist in Uruguay, why would he spare the British ones?
Well why didn't he start by removing European origin settlers from Urugyuay? He could have made a start by jumping in the River Plate?
Dec 27th, 2013 - 03:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And he would have to go a long way to have found British fascists, as they never recovered from the Battle of Cable Street.

Dec 27th, 2013 - 06:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I notice that you have no reply to @ 14.
Is that because you know my facts are truthful and the Tupas were frightened of dying for their country?
Of course it is.
It's called Operación Condor and is a well-known fact.

Dec 27th, 2013 - 09:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hit a raw nerve again have I?
I know what OC was and it isn't what the Tupamaros were fighting, not to begin with at least OR are you saying the American Police Officer who was training the Policia was the general of OC? Ha, ha, ha.
GOD (from an atheist), you are a lying bastard to rival The Lunatic of Chew Butt. ALL of the trouble came about after the twats of the Tupamaros kicked off!
You might fool some people with this crap, but not me.
Your parents were in the midst of this, so you say. Start by getting them to tell YOU the truth for once.
Chris, I have no interest in helping you with your delusions.
Dec 27th, 2013 - 09:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Uruguayan population knows the truths, and the opinions of a Brit expat and his friend Juan matters little.
Enjoy yourself.
@ 32 Stevie
Dec 28th, 2013 - 09:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0It seems to me the population have moved on in40 odd years and only the die-hards remember anything and the Military rule always brings contempt on the Tupamaros when I explain HOW the military were enpowered.
I have done this three times now and it is obvious to me that “the people” had never thought it through.
You are the deluded one but I will take it from your post that you have given up defending the indefensible.
