.....but were disinclined to ask?

Fabulous set of PDF articles from the Nicaraguan Defence Force site about the EPS. For anyone interested in the struggle against Olly North's  ex-somozista stooges, AKA the Contras it's a must. Some really good pics and some unusual items. Who knew that the Sandinistas possessed a turretless 'recce' version of the Staghound armed with a .50 cal machinegun?

The articles are in Spanish naturally enough but should be intelligible even if you don't read or speak the language. Just click on the articles listed under "30 años de vida institucinal 1979 - 2009".  There's a link to the complete series of pdfs at the end or you can just download the individual articles that interest you. Some of them relate to the post war period.

La lucha continua!

Oh and the Spanish Wiki article on the EPS contains some very useful information on TO&Es  and weaponry.

Enjoy!

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Neat'o! Thanks for sharing.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
