As is the case with junior officers nearly everywhere, those in Argentina tended to be more radical than their superiors and were more insistent on wresting the conditions for a strong professional role from the relevant political authorities.
On the one hand, leading officers regard as insurmountable the political and economic pressures to confine the goals and economic means of the institution, short of forcing an undesirable confrontation that President Menem--shielded by the support of large sectors the Argentine elite and middle class--would be almost sure to win.
Some Argentineofficers share some of the more fundamental doubts of their counterparts from more advanced militaries regarding peacekeeping operations, insisting that collective security efforts should not replace the defense of sovereign territory as the number one goal of the Argentine armed forces.
The ArgentineArmy (Ejército Argentino, EA) is the land armed force branch of the Argentine military and the senior military service of the country.
Between 1955 and 1973 the Army and the rest of the military became vigilant over the possible re-emergence of Peronism in the political arena, which led to two new coups against elected Presidents in 1962 (deposing Arturo Frondizi) and 1966 (ousting Arturo Illia).
During the Alfonsín administration, the Army was rocked by uprisings and internal infighting, primarily due to the new government's stance against the events of the Dirty War.
