Normally I’m all for the court-martial of commissioned officers violating basic solder rights — but the crimes committed were not so grave that prosecution should take place now for actions that took place in 1982.

But — then again — this is Argentina and passion rules the law!

Torture is INTERNATIONALLY recognized as a “Crime against Humanity” and therefore IMPRESCRIPTIBLE..., milico...

-We do know that your Military Indoctrination disregarded completely the concept of “Human Rights”..., mostly on the base that the “Enemy” ain't no Human Being...

Time to re-educate yourself..., hermanito...
You can still make it...!

As everyone should know — commissioned officers are responsible for the complete morale and welfare of enlisted personnel under their command. We were instilled that failure to comply with that primary tenet — could easily result in prosecution.

With respect — what your Argentine commissioned officers appallingly committed was absolutely detestable and the military code of conduct calls for strong penalties.

Obviously there are crimes that are without a statute of limitations for prosecution (such as murder) — but the actions were not of the “crimes against humanity” level and I would point out that these crimes were committed nearly four decades ago!

What is being demanded is NOT justice — but inappropriate vengeance instead.

And that’s why I’m thankful that I was never involved in dishonorable behavior.

Obviously egregious crimes were committed — but waiting 39 years to prosecute?

It’s your country and your country’s sad situation.

Changing subjects — you may also remember that Danke is Argentine!
My dear friend in San Juan ‘gifted’ him as a puppy and his character defines him.

Hermanito...

We didn't wait 39 years to prosecute..., Shicuréo...
We were prevented during 39 years to prosecute...
Can you spot the “little difference”...?

The Argentinean “character” (in humans, huwomans or dogs) can indeed be a bit of a challenge...
But our positive singularities hermanito..., our singularities..., they do set us apart...

Did you know for example that Argentina (together with Greece) are the only two Nations in World History that..., on their own initiative an respecting the rule of existing laws..., tried, condemned and jailed most of their criminal military Nomenklatura...?

I, for one, are proud of that fact...

Coming from the claims of a proven liar

Meanwhile, as to your veracity. So you've claimed I'm both fat, http ://iamskippy.com/I_Am_Skippy/Welcome.html and skinny. https ://en.mercopress.com/2021/04/07/patagonian-hotels-returned-to-kirchner-family-as-money-laundering-enquire-reaches-nowhere/comments#comment515747

Again Skippy proves my point that Terence proves without doubt.

Besides claiming the ridiculous fake valor of serving in the RAF 18th Squadron — Skippy shows the exact character in his many social media accounts.

Skippy repeats the exact same quotes in his YouTube Skippy videos — including the exact same antiquated awkward manner...

And Terence Hill really loves attention: http://audiofuzz.com/uncategorized/the-40-year-old-virgin-from-utah-who-has-met-every-famous-person-ever/
