Image 1 . Official Logo of the Bicentennial. The Saturday May 22 between 13:10 and 15:00, took place on Military Parade (in 9 de Julio, Buenos Aires ) for the Bicentennial celebration May Revolution (1810 - 2010) . Paraded around 5000 Delegations effective of Foreign Military Air Force Argentina, Armada Argentina, Argentine Army Argentina Coast Guard, National Gendarmerie and Federal Police Argentina.
attended with great patriotic fervor, hoping to enjoy a performance commensurate with the importance of the event and I returned home with a feeling more than bittersweet. Following is a summary of my views on the matter.

positive points:
******************************************** **************************************
- The great interest and enthusiasm that was experienced between civilians who attended the event (especially families with children)
- The "drive" that put him in uniform with their songs.
- The "color" of historical uniforms (Grenadiers, Patrick, Hussars, Colorados del Monte, etc.)
- The parade of veterans of the Falklands War (VGM) and the Recognition popular that took (they were the most applauded of the evening).

Negative points:
******************************************* *************************************
- The inexplicable and inexcusable faltazo of the Commander in Chief Armed Forces (the President of the Nation).
- The lack of vehicles (tanks, VCTPs, trucks, artillery, "Hummers" etc). Albeit in a limited number should have been filed (not counting the 5-Vehicle VLEGA General Employment Lightweight Airborne-"Gaúcho" that opened the parade with military authorities. Although this was known beforehand, not sorry I missed it.
- The suspension of the flyover (admittedly for strictly weather), which deprived the public of a rare spectacle: the flight of 22 aircraft from the FAA (was scheduled to deploy Mirage III, A-4AR "Skyhawk" , IA-63 "Pampa", IA-58 Pucara, "EMB-312 Tucano, Fokker F-28, C-130" Hercules ")
- The parade of almost all units with historical uniforms (almost none in combat gear, and between them stood incredibly camouflaged troops and GEOF GE1 of the "Policia Federal "!!!).

Photo 8. The best image of "elite troops" followed, taking the PFA, showed off two snipers GEOF their guns with telescopic sights and produced camouflage (Author: Mariano Agostini) - The minority foreign delegations (Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela. Special mention of the suggestive absence Chile. Misses the lack of representation of Paraguay and Peru)
Photo 9. Foreign military delegations. In the foreground Ecuador's Presidential Guard (French blue uniform), effective behind Bolivia, the members of the military background of Uruguay. Point-to-hand for the Bolivian delegation, uncoordinated movements up and modern rifles (FN / FAL) with historical uniforms (Author: Mariano Agostini) - The date chosen, it should have been May 25. Clear political in tune with the anti-military management of the Government no to the Armed Forces
- The receiving similar homage (perhaps due to ignorance of the public present, the Malvinas War Veterans (VGM) and, for me, wrongly called "Combatants Continental" (?)).
Photo 10. Late but safe. Warm appreciation to the Malvinas War Veterans who carried a flag in recognition of the fallen. Behind them was "sneaked" the troops deployed in the TOAS (Continental Zone) who ask to be recognized as veterans, too bad (Author: Mariano Agostini) - The lack of bands accompanying the march of the units. Vast distances in units marched without musical accompaniment, just singing songs loudly regiment. Yes martial music ran against the main stage bands 1 Patrician Regiment, Artillery Group 1, and Military School.
Photo 11. Close the parade Horse Grenadiers Regiment loudly singing the March of San Lorenzo. A classic of the most applauded. - The same is true of the official speech, audible only near the official box, having to guess (which were at a greater distance) units through their banners or badges. Everything stated
above gives a balance disappointing, with prevailing negative points to overshadow a parade, in my humble opinion, was not up to the importance of the commemorative celebration.
Anyway, it was a terrible example of the defense policy of the current Argentine Government. Leaving aside the ideological hue (which may or may not be shared) or political bias that might come to have, I invite you to see on Youtube the imposing and majestic images of the military parade held in Venezuela on the occasion of its Bicentennial.
The Bicentennial of the Independence of Argentina (July 9, 2016) leaves a glimmer of hope for you to enjoy a parade as our history deserves. There is "revenge" I hope the authorities of the government of the day in 6 years and take the necessary steps to organize the parade that the country deserves. So be it!
Viva la Patria!
