Why did he throw people out of helicopters?
He could have used firing squads and mass graves like Franco, it would be a lot cheaper
style
and also to find ways to trigger his enemies in the future tbqh baka desu senpai
Mass graves are found.
>>1916382
And not leave his name in history?
I'd use catapults.
>>1916406
This.
The French invented the technique during the Algerian War.
>>1916382
Because he had class, damnit.
Because that would be boring.
wait wait were they THROWN out of helicopters or were they HUNG out of helicopters like that scene in Scarface
I always thought it was the latter
>>1916382
That helicopter-throwing period was called "caravan of death". It was basically an heli-transported army brigade going along Chile and catching Allende simpatizers
>>1916382
Swag
>>1916382
> it would be a lot cheaper
Pinochet actually bragged about burying two persons in the same coffin to economize
>>1917357
Thrown.
The Army has helicopters anyway, and that way the bodies never show up again.
I was told he disposed of already dead bodies and I was a bit disappointed
>>1917400
uncle of mine met an ex-special forces in the army back then and he told me they flew them alive into the ocean far enough for the currents to take them away, then they sliced their stomachs open and dumped them
>tfw your father is an old neocon from the 80s who, to this day, approves of Pinochet
He claims that's the reason Chile is the only non-shithole in South America. I don't quite believe him.
>>1917966
what's with spics and being complete sociopaths?
stories about Pinochet's regime are rife with edgelord bullshit like this
baby rape?
it's awwwwwww right
To prevent the bodies from ever being found and identified. In Argentina the 1970s military junta did a similar thing with airplanes, they threw people into the sea, often paralyzed with drugs so they could suffer more while drowning and being eaten by animals.
>>1917997
It's almost like authoritarian regimes intentionally use edgy bullshit to scare people away from dissent.
>>1916382
Bullets cost money? And no one wanted to sell him bullets? I don't fucking know.
>>1917992
as a Chilean who's been to Peru, Bolivia and Argentina, i think you have to really define what a shithole is, because even the US isn't so pretty when you move away from a state capital's nicer neighborhoods or towns with a lot of resources flowing. Just a matter of priorities, there are places where houses are made of tin, plaster and plastic panels that have faster internet than a lot of the United States, people who sleep in naked matresses that buy every iPhone.
>>1917997
see>>1917382
knives are cheap and there's always a morbid satisfaction in letting your nastiest troops go wild.
>>1918001
except Pinochet's regime is particularly notorious for letting all kinds of low level state operatives run wild with all kinds of cruel shit
Pinochet was a coward and a faggot
>>1918010
Thats because the media is filled with leftist who have no qualms with lying to you to achieve their goal; global socialism. Their treatment of Pinochet is just an extension of that.

LOL

i have yet to read a report on the torture cases that didn't stink of exaggeration and read suspiciously similar to every ARVN
like, torture with elements that it's hard to believe they would improvise in a matter of days, or that would cause extreme damage to bodies that would be impossible to heal back.
>>1918052
I never said that. I don't think he was that nationalist. In fact, I don't think he was that right wing. But the left will lie and make up this boogieman because he wasn't as far left as the guy they like. They will lie to you and not fell any remorse whatsoever, don't believe it.
>>1918055
>i have yet to read a report on the torture cases that didn't stink of exaggeration and read suspiciously similar to every ARVN
LOL.
>>1918057
this fag needs to be thrown out of a helicopter
>>1918052
>sold out
He saved it.Allende was Mugabe tier and famines were starting to pop up
One reason is that when reports were leaked of "people" being chucked out of helicopters, it made it very scary/dangerous for people to be an Allende supporter or an open leftists in general. It's kinda like what Duterte has done: when Duterte started killing drugs delears and others of a similar ilk, tens of thousands started handing themselves over to the police to avoid one of these summary executions in the streets.
