I don’t know who coined this phrase but it is a relevant today as it has been for millennia.

I hate to point this out ........but I think you are getting your Generals and countries mixed up , Pinochet was Chilean , Galtieri was the Argentinian

sorry to nit-pick but know that you are particular about facts being correct
