Argentine Armed Forces
Since the 1990s, Argentine Armed Forces began a close defense cooperation and friendship policy with its neighbors Brazil and Chile and began to participate in United Nations Peace Keeping operations.
Also the armed services became voluntary which has improved the professionalism. The British embargo due to the Falklands War (Spanish: Guerra de las Malvinas) was officially eliminated and Argentina was granted a Major Non-NATO ally status by United States President Clinton.
The recent group of “Democratic” governments has cut the military budget and disproved any major equipment purchases. Argentina military spending is one of the lowest of South America and as of 2010 it’s 0.9% of the GDP.
Since the begining of the 2000's, there has been an atempt to restart Argentinas defence industry after the politics of privatization carried out during the 1990s by the Menem administration virtually eliminated it. However, the glory days of being the fourth counrty in the world to place an dog in space and being the first nation in South America to design and build a jet fight, are over.
I would like to dedicate this thred to posting of any picture or media that will honer all branches of the Argentine Military:
