It is too bad that the sadistic faggots, er fascists, those who fell like cowardly dominoes in the Falkland Islands War, won't face the same horrendous fate in the torture chambers as their thousands of victims, including pregnant women and children. I urge you all to read the Nunca Mas report. Nothing the left did could even compare to the degree and scale of evil perpetrated by these scum.

If by Civil War, you mean genocide, then you are right. The Dirt War that Argentina faced in the 1970 through early 80's was an attempt to eradicate (aka MURDER) any political opponents. I hope you pick up a book and read it before you post an immensely ignorant comment ever again.

Military Junta: "War against Subversive Terrorism"

Guerrilla: "Terrorism of State"

My Grandfather was taken in the middle of the night back in the 70's. My father who was a teenager at the time was beaten while they were taking grandfather. He was returned a week later because they found out he actually worked for the government.

It was not even a war, it was a dictatorship, the militars and their supporters killed not only guerrilleros they killed students, workers, politicians that were far away of being violent people,, that was a genocide, not a war, not even dirty

And you wonder why the British came half way around the world to fight these scum bags.We know what would have happened to the outspoken Islanders.

They would have started to disappear.The one good thing to come out of rhe war is that  Argentina got to rid themselfs of Cockroach Junta & free themselfs.

@dpg21ca Maybe it wasn't a true war in the whole meaning of the sense, but the terrorist that are now in the government, including Taiana, are assasins, of civilians. Why aren't they on jail?

[fansdesofia]

This asshole, Jorge Taiana, is a former left wing terrorist. He should be enjailed too. How the fuck does he dares to speak about impunity.

@kajunshaman 30,000? I'm sorry, but you need to find me a credible source that states that number. CONADEP registered around 8,000, and even on that list there are people who are still alive to day (example: Judge Argibay).

[kajunshaman]

you talk as if the terror of both sides was the same. BULLSHIT, military state terror WAS OVERWHELMINGLY more brutal and massive than anything remotely attributed to a rag tag of montoneros. Read here, 30,000 dissapeared or killed, thousands died at the ESMA torture camp or thrown alive from helicopters into the sea. All by the hands of the openly fascistic army. Comparing a few kidnappings and bombings is ridiculous to the scale of state terror led by the military junta, NUNCA MAS!!

[chemichaelgreen]

I think the word impunity was incorrectly used in place of immunity....
