Guatemalan Civil War

[tigertj1994]

Guatenala deberia ser de Mexico,al fin y al cabo estan emigrando al sur de Mexico. Deberiamos de unir al Imperio Mexicano de nuevo.

[Mishaguate]

Well, I am from Guatemala. I believe in democracy. I don't believe in Socialism, just look at Cuba. Please, if you make a documentary about a country or a particular topic, you should have the right information, pictures, information, etc. etc.

[hapesjr]

Many of the pictures are not of Guatemala, but the facts are correct and so is the spirit. Students in America do not learn of the "other Vietnam" that caused atrocities into the 1990's in the name of Communism, but in the interest of Chiquita Banana

[mpcolucci12]

you are a liberal retard. you are the kind of person who wants to see america fall.

[ritchieification]

Many of these pictures are not Guatemala. Terrible video. The airport with the plane landing is Honduras and the "displaced children" was a picture in Vietnam you bloody fool. Other pictures were also wrong. Shame on you!!!!!!

[MyTenToes]

@ritchieification How did you find that out??

[heraclemaya]

Vean el video que tengo en mi usuario, alli veran un aspecto grotesco del pasado del General. Otto Perez Molina ?crimen de Guerra?

[edsondonaldo]

quien se cree este tipo para dar esos datos tan exactos, no tiene idea ni fundamentos para dar esas estadisticas, eso apesta

[bapyou]

2:45 - Preciosas.

[stupitonto]

ala gran yo soy militar en Guatemala y la verdad que mal me siento cuando miro estos videos, estoy orgulloso de pertenecer al gloriosos ejercito de Guatemala pero cuando miro estas cosas entiendo porque aveces hasta lo odian a uno, yo no naci en esas epocas pero que lamentable esto por Dios pidamos por Guatemala y por la libertad que aun no tenemos.

[TheMsmaras]

Claro que si, GUATEMALA Nunca fue parte de mexico.! es CentroAmerica...

[charlynedved99]

Guatemala estaria mejor si no se hubiera separado de México, no hubiesen sufrido.

[chinow179]

@charlynedved99 Guatemala nunca pertenecio a Mexico cuatro estados q ahora pertenecen a mexico antes pertenecieron a Guatemala .

[cdnp1980]

some of this shit is true but yes the united states of america heve a lot to do....... of this shit in centro america.

[razorsharpren]

what has pictures in Vietnam, Africa, and Kurdistan got to do with Guatemala?

[blanquitoloco92]

@razorsharpren they are all referred to as "proxy" wars as the United States and Soviet Union armed their so called "proxies" in order to fight a cold war indirectly, however the more you tell an ex-pat this story, the more and more the term "proxy" seems to be used to demean and illegitmize the National Liberation movements.

[Guatemalasociety]

I wish Guatemala was a better place for all those poor and innocent children, women, and men.

[vivaguatemala4123456]

vivaguatemala!!!!!

[greyghost61csa]

As someone who spent alot of time down there in the early 80s and got in trouble for it with our government (I worked ranch security and liked ol' Rios and his beans and bullets program and like las manos blancas) this is the biggest joke I have ever seen with regards to guatemala.

[greyghost61csa]

LOL what a crock, showing pictures from the PAVN's easter offensive and trying to say it was in Guatemala? I would suggest whoever did this learn some history and not use famous photos that have nothing to do with what propaganda they are trying to push. Also the USA did not support the government in guatemala from the late 70s until the end of the civil war, hence the weapons the government used were R-4s and gallils, made in south africa and isreal. So funny who ever did this, a joke!!!!

[WWARRIOR21]

we guatemalans understand ur intent but some comments are way off, for example the US taking part in the killings???? wtf?

[RebelSoldier68]

It's 1:15 Antigua Guatemala? I freaking loved that place!

[KronprinzAdam]

Miller no se de dónde seas, pero ¿te gustaría que la bandera de tu país la pintaran de gris y negro en un documental? Creo que quisiste dar el efecto de un documental "en blanco y negro", pero la bandera se ve un poco rara.

Saludos desde Xela.

[zotz100]

you might want to verify your sources as much of the facts you give are incorrect. Also check your pictures because many of them have nothing to do with Guatemala and the ones you include are for time periods before or after the insurgency.

[delmerocamasca]

The airport looks like Toncontín, of Tegus. (Honduras) Are you sure this is Guatemala's?

[Mishaguate]

As Guatemalan, I do not value this video representing our Civil War.. Some pictures of this video don't belong in it. By the way, as Guatemalan I appreciate the US government for not allowing the guerrillas or the communist to take over Guatemala, overall Central America. USA did it for their interest.. and I do give them a big thank you. The massacre occurred but the blame is the military and the guerrilla forces. Killing innocent people for their interests of control over our nation.

[mpcolucci12]

@Mishaguate I agree with you. I respect what you said and I am happy your not like the rest of the people who hate america

[publicmario17]

@Mishaguate So what do they USA did in 1954? Was it because of communism there?

[overthetop1901]

an overall very poor video.

[cleto4810]

Not only that, the ones that are from Guatemala are much more recent... Not from the civil war..

[antonymous890]

same thing with Agusto Pinochet's regime in Chile.

[Mywarwillneverend]

[MrJalapa]
