@dkrustyklown Nameless skirmishes against convoys, belittled by Franco´s "freedom of speech". How many of those trained monkeys died with a bullet in their heads! Come on, Jamón Serrano, you can do better than beign a mediocre shit-eating falangista hater on youtube, or a trained monkey. You can do much better than that! XD

[dkrustyklown]

@makokun9 Name a single successful military operation carried out by the leftist guerillas in Franco's Spain. Come one, name one. Oh, you can't? That would be because there were none. You communists are all the same:  full of shit and out of touch with reality. Burn, losers.

[makokun9]

@dkrustyklown And as a falangista comemierda, that's what you would like to think.

Fine, keep eating shit then, Jamón Serrano... you and all the trained monkeys who burn in Hell now.

@makokun9

If you're insinuating that the Maquis at any point inflicted significant damage to Franco's forces, then you are truly an imbecile. The attempted invasion of the Valley of Aran ended in disaster for the Maquis. In every engagement between the Maquis and Franco's experienced military personnel, Franco's men were victorious. The Maquis were stopped in 1944, by the way. What they did between then and the 1960's was hide. In that time, the Maquis made no advance, all they did was hide.

@dkrustyklown Franco used what he had, which was way more than the Maquis got. An army of trained monkeys, provided with artillery, food, air support, and freedom of movement. A horde of servile and brainwashed clowns armed to the teeth... and yet they could not stop the Maquis until the 60's. During that time, who knows how many of those trained monkeys, like the captain, were sniped, gutted, dismembered, etc. We will never know, because Franco's "freedom" of press would not let us.

@makokun9

What makes me smile is the fact that, in reality, the guerilla fighters that were depicted in that movie were annihilated by Franco's military. You can smile at a fictional story all you want, but the reality is that when leftist guerilla fighters tried to wage war in the mountains, they were utterly crushed by Franco's disciplined military. So go ahead, take comfort in a piece of fiction, while I laugh at you because I know how the battle really turned out. Bye, loser.

@dkrustyklown And you should stop excusing the unexcusable, mother motherfucking piece of falangista shit.

"Ni siquiera sabrá tu nombre"... the best line in the whole movie, and then the fucking captain getting shot in the face... whenever I see that scene, I smile. :)

This song is stupid.

Franco killed communists. This was a good thing.

As for the Republicans, Franco let them go a couple of years after the war.

Also, did you know that Franco helped 60,000 Jews escape Nazi occupied Europe through Spain?

Yep, he ordered his men to stamp visas for Jews and look the other way as they crossed the French border to freedom in Spain.

Before you go disparaging deceased heroes, you should do a little bit of research.
