Main Article Content
Abstract
The new conception of the Spanish Army since instrument to the service of the reason of the international peace has helped to form a new image that overcomes all the topics and the prejudices so generalized between the citizens on the armed institution. Inside this frame, this one tries to be a reflection documented on the image that the Spanish have had traditionally of his Armies, particularly of that of Earth, as consequence of the repeated ones dysfunctions of this institution demonstrated in two planes: on the one hand, the proper inefficiency and professional incompetence of the Army at the moment of expiring satisfactorily, inside his specific area, the missions that I had entrusted, at the time that they were sacrificing themselves uselessly and repeatedly thousands of human lives; for other one, gendarme's role of his own people, of force of occupation opened on the national territory, not for the defense of the same one before an external enemy, but to conspire any movement of the so called “enemigo interior”.
