as another Argentinian i must correct something here, yes we have bad equipment, old tanks and such but the training and dedication of our men in the armed forces is not inferior to any other country in the world, it is just that past actions and the present conditions dont allow people to see the true colors of the people actually in the armed forces

bandits and rebels… you really are miss informed, true there are guerrillas in Colombia and such but those are on the most tropical areas of south America closer to central America, Uruguay and for that matter Argentina, chile, Peru and and Paraguay don’t have such problems, even Brazil with all its drug traffic problems doesn’t employ their army for those purposes, the main reason we even have an army these days (im from Argentina by the way) is because its a vestige from other times of tension wich are gone and forgotten

Not really. Many of the big deal Hispanic countries have more or less well equipped forces. Chile, for example, has arguably the best equipped army around, with Leopard 2′s and all those shiny toys. Brazil and Venezuela (It having been a military dictatorship-ish) have pretty well equipped and big armies, as well.
On the other end of the spectrum, we have countries like Argentina, Paraguay or Bolivia that are pretty much defenseless, at least compared to their neighbours.

I live in Argentina. Don’t worry, Argentina’s army is pretty much worthless. Bad leaders, bad training, equipment that doesn’t work, an airforce that is basically a few dozens of planes without enough spare parts to fly. :P.
… The Brazilians, on the other side… Those guys are going to go on a rampage one of these days. There wouldn’t be any S.American country capable of stopping them, anyway.

Big nations want big guns. It’s partly a self-esteem issue (the French keep wanking over their nuclear carrier) and partly a world recognition, because it’s true that when you have better weapons it’s a show of power and stability.

Eh, I wouldn’t underestimate. I mean, they’ve recently got many modernized Leopard 1′s, which can still harm modern MBT’s. Not to mention that Brazil is also growing, military-wise. Argentina’s Army is probably decent, but it’s AF and Naxy is a terrible joke.
