La Patria

The Nation of yesteryear is no more, nor the nor the Jauretche Mitre. Would you still experience the country if not for the madness that happened to the Argentine army guys? Hoy se cumplen años del desembarco en Malvinas. Estamos viendo
en los medios algunos reportajes a ex-combatientes. Se exhibió la película I luminados
por el fuego , donde se ven la desprotección y el desamparo de los soldados argentinos. Por ejemplo, estaban en esas australes y frígidas tierras con zapatillas Flecha, las zapatillas de lona baratas que se usaban en aquella época, y bastante mal abrigados.
Cuentan que los soldados ingleses, al capturarlos o al recibirlos luego de la rendición, comentaban que no podían creer que estos argentinos hubieran combatido tan mal abrigados y tan mal armados. Por otra parte, la jerarquía militar no distribuía la food, stealing, and the soldiers had to steal sheep to eat. For stealing sheep, staked naked punished, sometimes also lacked the ability to cook the lamb, and eat it raw, grabbed a fighter what would be the mad cow disease but in sheep. military also have career running away from bullets and sending conscripts to the front, or conscripts see a boat approaching the coast, saying: "We are going to pull everything, general", and the officer answered: "You think so?", having to wait for those spots that were seen on the horizon to become shooting nearby ships cannonballs, wreaking havoc in the ranks of Argentina (if they were rows yet). In short, what you see is a great responsibility on the part of military leaders to send these kids there. The military adventure to regain the Falkland Islands, with which it might have some affinity, becomes an adventure even in the sense of compromise, without precautions, the offspring of the country. It was not only being fought against an enemy with centuries-old experience as a pirate, but would send themselves with less protection, not on arms equipment, knowledge, clothing, training, logistics [1] and health, and without moral leadership or experience of professional soldiers.
Then, these veterans were left to their own (or bad luck) both in the economic sense of not receiving a pension and in the sense of not receiving counseling or honors of any kind. The Falklands War was never prosecuted, not only because of the lack of individual attention to veterans but also by the lack of social attention to the Argentine defeat and shame.
In sum, we can say that in the Falklands War was not only unconscious, there was not only wickedness and corruption. There was also negligence, indolence, ignorance. Said by the street, "that war had no feet or head."
We are in a war that was not a heroic gesture, a patriotic struggle, but a war we lost before it was known, a war where the nation dies, not only killed the soldiers, not only lost the war, also died and lost the country. The official speeches of his soldiers alive always included the Fatherland. In such utterance was ever alive well, almost, the death of the country. It was the only time in the twentieth century in which the soldiers had a chance to fight an external enemy, and in doing so, the very inept, killed Patria. Las Malvinas were operated historic site where the death of the country, where the nation-female version of the Father, God-mother version left to care for their children. Homeland abstract noun seems to be the father, and when the country does not care for their children (as the kids in 1982), ceases to be home, when the country does not care for their children in a loss (as the excombatiententes since ), ceases to be such. And a question is imposed between naive and deluded: Homeland Argentina would still be alive if not for the madness that happened to the Argentine army guys? The first thing to say is that no democratic government took charge of processing the loss, neither the veteran's particular social or the defeated country. Yet the question persists, and one said that perhaps the democratic governments were the sequel left by the soldiers (the sequel to a homeland left in a lost war), and conditions were no longer to the State take care of orphans left by the war. And this answer that is hard to say, it gives the feeling that, and when the soldiers faced this war, its relationship with parental body was broken. [2]
whole idea of \u200b\u200bdefeat and loss Malvinas Homeland somehow continues a IL impression was that I heard him say at some point and could not argue much, it was a mere impression, that postmodernism enters Argentina to the Falklands War. It was hard to argue because the whole question of the Malvinas war remained after the war, always behind a cloak of fog. Except for the film
The boys
war, and then the holiday on June 10, little was said was developed and more or less openly, on the Falklands War. In this silence, to the neglect of former combatants, were called desmalvinización. See why it should be after, the desmalvinización, since last year (2005), we see a 'de-desmalvinización' and began to see in mainstream media accounts of ex-militiamen allegations of irresponsibility, etc., etc. So far the only thing that was said about the Falklands war was how the soldiers were stealing donations, food and rest, and thanks to those boys had returned to democracy. This was said under his breath and I could not think. Maybe it's time to think, and perhaps now is another time, when des-desmalvinización, we can think. We'll see.
PS: a certain Mosse, quoted by Bauman in Chapter 2 of Life
liquid, says national states "nationalized death", causing the death of a soldier to be killed for their nation, their homeland. We would say that nation states made no soldier fell senseless. Now, Argentina has not given a sense of national (or other felt worthy or epic) to declines in the Falklands. Lqqd. Reading
to spend 03/06/2009: Malvinas appears as defeat of the sovereign:
"'The Joint Chiefs of communicating to the people ...' and then came the statement, and he sensed defeat, the mistake was to think that only took a month, when in fact he had several years. It was the defeat of our sovereign bodies, quiet, subdued, numb, accompanied by a subjective freeze, deeper than the "other", the rock of shit and our illustrious mierdez ... democracy was conquered, as the price of our subjectivity delivered. "

[1] food often did not reach the soldiers not to have been stolen but have not been properly stored and have become distributed. [2] Here the question is whether it was the war that broke the tie Argentine patriotic patriotic tie or if that was already broken before, for example from 24 March 76 or earlier.
