During the “dirty war” many of the leftists (if they in fact were) were taken to the Naval Mechanics School on Av. Libertador in Buenos Aires. We heard that these detainees were sedated, then taken up in Navy helos and dropped in the delta of the River Plate, never to be seen again. My son, who is in BA this week Facebooked me, saying that building has been razed. Mike had some high school buds whose older brothers “disappeared.”
Yes. I’ve heard similar accounts of helicopter drops from Honduras. Bad things happened in Argentina, but it’s ridiculous for the progressives to try and claim the pope supported the disappearing of teenagers or the murder of innocents.
Also, people have to take into account that none of the military juntas came close to the bodycount racked up by Che Guevara and Castro. A lot of times, it came down to the lesser of two evils, and the Soviet backed revolutionaries were worse.
