Re: Argentine Armed Forces
That's a lie, and you know it well as an Argentine.
There are very few reasons to explain that someone is able to wield so banal arguments like yours:
- Being completely ignorant of the history of Argentina for at least the last 50 years.
- Being affect to the actions of the armed forces during the years of dictatorship, a dictatorship which illegally killed thousands of Argentine citizens.
- Being part of the opposition to current government, an opposition that is unable to create a political project, and is engaged in campaigns of harassment and misinformation like that raised in your comments.
I do not care about anyone's political opinion, even that is based on lies and hypocrisy, but if it bothers me that you expand this crap for free to readers around the world for the mere fun of it.
And if you do not do it for fun... you should do a little something to write with a little more respect for your fellow citizens, and in respecto to the intelligence of the other forum members.
Examples? Above you wrote about the post-dictatorship governments calling them "democratic" in quotes. They were not democratically elected? Or is it that bothers you the exercise of democracy, because it does not yield the results you want?
Examples? The current government does not buy votes. Surely you call "buying votes" to social assistance, the creation of new schools and hospitals, building infrastructure, repair of all social and economic damage that the dictatorship first, and the liberal government of the '90s caused later. If that's to "buy votes", you definitely hate democracy and the very essence of republic.
Examples? You refer to the illegal repression of the dictatorship, the mass murder of thousands of Argentine citizens, as a "dirty war"... it was not a war: it was a criminal massive act of murder exercised by the armed forces. Because you insist on denying the words from what history has shown?
It is unfortunate to read this kind of comments in a respectable forum like this. I do not like these interventions, but the meanness of your arguments makes this inevitable.
The renewal of the Argentine Armed Forces is being conducted rationally, leaving aside the old "lobbyists" from the 70's and 80's, forming young professionals, within a new national and regional perspective. Certainly the country has more pressing needs that the refurbishment of the Armed Forces, but this work is being carried out anyway. If that is not what you want, it does not mean it is not being done, or that it is not correct.
My apologies to the forum for this necessary reply and clarification to the sayings of the "Miragedriver" member.
