  • I would however change the hook a bit as Merino is quotes are in retrospective, hes mocking description of GAP was done after the coup.
... that, after the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, Admiral José Toribio Merino described ousted President Salvador Allende's (pictured) GAP security force as "Disney-movie style ... kids playing bandits"?

Thanks for the review, Dentren. I agree your Alt hook is preferable. Chetsford (talk) 16:10, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
I am not sure about the image's copyright status , its license says it is in public domain of Argentina but not of the US. Also, it is not the best image to illustrate the topic, because it shows Allende and not the GAP.
