    Yep,
    Looks like Chilé are the chosen ones, not Argentina.

    Hopefully Argentina doesn't see this as a slap in the face.

    However, one has to look at the facts
    Chilé is a growing economy, strategically located on the Pacific as well as the Horn, and they have a well equipped professional military.

    Healthy trade as a member of the Pacific Alliance, and having a real democracy, can't hurt.

    Argentina? Nope, none of those things.

    Too bad - passed over, again.

    Congratulations to USA and especially Chile, to continue the successes for both.

    This could not possibly be a “discrete” six-feet-pole-hit-in-the-back-of-the-neck hint to Argentina, could it? Naaaah. .... hm?

    Chuck Hagel when asked about Argentina, tries to reply but was struck down with laughter,

    the conclusion was thus noted...lol

    Brit, TT and D Crap - where do you nimrods come up with this crap? make stuff as you go among. There was just an exercise including most SA countries. All butt hurt that you weren't invited? Strengthening military and ties between the Americas. 3000 Falklanders are barely a town. Go see defense.gov for reference.

    “ naval exercise... most SA countries... ”

    er, but nothing from Argentina, right?

    I heard you had the snappiest 'table settings', though.

    Let me guess, were you the caterers?

    The only ones left out of things are you.

    USA doesn't want you.

    Chilé are their friends, though !!

    :-D

    Medoconvino is back and at Air Farce. What color was your base pass to get on ANY us base world wide. As you know .....of course....they are DoD passes, the colors have not changed.

    tobi do not mistake daddy for your momma's nipples....you might choke.

    Fake piece of shit. Can't answer one of my simple questions.....even on rank or grade.

    Funny, I was thinking of Hepatia when looking at the sentence construction and the turn of speech. All that was missing was “25 years.”

    The USA here, at least for once, shows a lot of good sense. In all of Latin America Chile, as partner, is second to none!

    Hepatia is desperate to be accepted as American, but gives himself away every time - betrayed by Peronist philosophy.

    Oops, the rest of Argentina is betrayed by them too.

    Poopy - I thought of you being an Army man and all, I think Henry Kissinger was also thinking of you, “dumb, stupid animals to be used” as pawns for foreign policy.” Why don't you get off the can and stop being a little British bitch and stick with Americans. Genius, no one has used base passes in decades to get on, only the people who cleaned my toilets needed those, so I wouldn't know. You really must have a lot of money riding on some Brit oil company for your interest in the Malvinas.

    One thing I do know, you're too stupid to be in the American Air Force.

    You cannot answer one simple question to prove yourself and give yourself credibility. Everyone not an Argentine and probably some that are knows your level of BS. You have zero credibility posing as an American serviceman. As I said....you have too much free time for starters.

    Oh as for the passes....two colors. Your problem is that you watch and google too much and these are not “weekend passes”

    Do you know SA commies can squeal like a a pig under the right conditions? I bet your daddy squealed. Jorge was good at getting them to squeal in Virgina.

    Chile will one day become the dominant partner in south America,
    or at the very least, 2nd to brazil,

    Sadly Argentina still wants to remain in the 18th century..

    I agree Briton. Chile is making decisions on what is best for Chile and not for an emotional spur of the moment. Overall I think Colombia will surpass Argentina if Argentina does not make a serious curse correction. I am really curious to see what path Brazil will choose in the coming weeks as well.

    Time will tell if Brazil joins Argentina in its time machine going back to the past,

    or join the rest of the world and really improve things for the better..

    17 A Farce

    “you are a gay hillbilly rapist.....really?? btw NY F face, you were never in VA”

    Hillbilly rapists live in another State entirely, it's called WEST Virginia. Being American, shouldn't you know that??

    Never in Virginia? It'called Chincoteague........The base is Wallops Island. High security installation. Drive around on the easterly side and low and behold.......you will see an array of hundreds of satellite dishes run by our favorite gov agency. There is also a NASA launch facility there.....but you know all of this.......being in the Air Force.
    Keep driving on Chincoteague Rd and take a left over the bridge........Sunset Villa......much better than the concrete laden floors of the naval housing on base, but those house were still much better than fort housing.
    Further down is Assateague National Seashore. But nothing beats the annual pony swim on Independence day week.......it's quite a festive and party week. They swim the wild ponies to the mainland every year for vet checks. It's really quite a mixed base like many since the mid 80s' But Air Force knows that too.

    Poppy,

    You seem very free to comment on 'sensitive' information.

    How can that be??

    US A Farce would have us believe that he'll be charged with treason for telling us what toothpaste brand is provided on base, to verify that he is in the Services.

    On the other hand by contrast, your description is very convincing.

    lol mission based information is sensitive, departures, men in a advance team, comm frequencies....etc etc. All that is in the open. I've woke many morning to the lumbering rumble of a 4am lift off of a new comm satellite. In fact in front of the base is an LED sign with a countdown to the next liftoff. That base also has communications worldwide.....naval side. The Farce has no clue on what a security clearance even means let alone non disclosures. If he were in the US military AND he did work that required non disclosures.....Air Force it is usually flights crews and load masters and pilots, he would not be typing on this web site because he would have a lot more important things to worry about.

    Oh and those condos are right over the bridge.....really nice they come with a dock.

    Poppy..Why don't you tell me some more about VA? Go ahead and pray do tell- Were you the base commander or were you the comm guy? Tell me more about the stuff that is out in the open that you are able to deny or confirm - What year did you say you got out?

    Straight out of the TT playbook (its called cut and paste, very clever)

    “US A Farce would have us believe that he'll be charged with treason for telling us what toothpaste brand is provided on base, to verify that he is in the Services.”
    There is nothing to prove to internet anonymous hacks.

    Troy whoever the “farce” is, it's not an American nor a serviceman. More of an Argentine dingleberry who watched too much tv.
