Over here the military is vilified and hated

And for good reason

I'm not an expert, but it sounds like the citizenry are public enemy #1 to the military in South America, but in North America, the military doesn't attack its own people.

Well

Just in argentina we had more failed and succesfull military coups than what I can remember

In a failed one the argentine navy and air force sent 30 aircraft to literally strafe and bomb civilians

That's fucked.

Yup

And when they failed

They retreated to their base

Negotiated a surrender

And when the negotiator went to the building they bombed him

You're not still in Argentine, are you?

VC gang Ping timee

Yup

@LOUS NYS ❣️

Oh god. Y'all are making me think we need another underground railroad.

If I'm not mistaken they never patched the bullet holes in the buildings around the capitol building

God bless you for starting game night

They're still there, you can sink your fingers in them

@nova garden ❣️

You're fucking adorable when you're high

🤔

@EternalDarkWolf ❣️

Your gifs are awesome

Yup, found a pic, the building of the minister of economy is still riddled with bullet holes from the bombings

And the attack was in 55

Weird how they never fixed them

10 years after WW2, eh?

Yeah

We had elected a more nationalist president

Sorry

Not nationalist

Socialist

And the army didn't like that

Literally the only reason we went to war against britain for the Falklands was because our alcoholic dictator at the time thought it would help him stay in power and avoid a revolution

I don't imagine going to war against Britain would have worked out very well for Argentina. No offense intended.

Ik

Although it did work for us in another way

What is it with dumbass dictators and getting fucked up by the queen?

Losing the war was the tipping point for the military dictatorship
