a video for the salvadoran army!..The Salvadoran Army or Ejercito Salvadoreno is the land branch and largest of the Military of El Salvador. In 2006 the government of El Salvador approached the Israeli ambassador to El Salvador seeking assistance in modernizing its army[2]. The Football War
Main article: Football War
The Football War (also called The Soccer War or 100-hours War) was a brief conflict between El Salvador and neighbouring Honduras. The war began after the rival nations traded wins during the qualifying round for the 1970 FIFA World Cup. Longstanding tensions between the countries were heightened by media reports on both sides, each accusing the other of hooliganism and violence toward their own football fans. On 26 June 1969, El Salvador dissolved all ties with Honduras, citing the unwillingness of the Honduran government to take action against Honduran citizens accused of violence, or make reparations.

On July 14th Salvadoran forces began moving into Honduras following a series of border clashes. Their progress was slowed and ultimately halted after the Honduran Air Force managed to destroy Salvadoran fuel reserves.

A ceasefire was ultimately negotiated and signed by July 18th, with Salvadoran forces withdrawing from Honduras by August 2nd following guarantees of safety for Salvadoran citizens in Honduras by the Honduran government.

Main article: Salvadoran Civil War
Following the 1979 coup d'état, El Salvador split along extremist right-wing and left-wing political ideologies. Unstable governments and growing civil unrest ultimately led to a long, bitterly fought civil war which was not resolved until 1992. The Iraq War:
Up to 380 Salvadoran troops were deployed as part of the Coalition Forces in Iraq between August, 2003 and January, 2009. While in Iraq, the Salvadoran contingent suffered 5 dead, and 20 wounded[3].
