Every step forward on February 9 the Army recalls the progress of the Heroic Military College cadets accompanying President Francisco I. Madero Chapultepec Castle on the National Palace, where warlords resist in arms against their government democratically elected. The bizarre act did not prevent the subsequent murder of president. That was not the only case in which the loyalty of the Military College President has manifested itself in the facts. The heroic squad also accompanied President Carranza when, betrayed by the generals of the army major conspirators in the Plan of Agua Prieta, began their painful march to Vera Cruz besieged by rebel troops. Having been released to stay in Mexico City, but told to take a step forward if they were willing to follow and protect the president, members of the Cavalry School Military College chose loyalty. A few days later, in Apizaco, the proximity of the enemy and not allow otherwise, was determined to launch a furious charge by the cavalry saber-perhaps the last in our history "of the cadets on the hosts Obregon, who were forced to turn back and flee in a hurry. Again treason was consummated with the assassination of President Carranza.
These two samples of allegiance was made by the Cadets against the treachery of the generals, which can be seen that the ritual is directed more to the military to civilians. With the consolidation of the revolutionary governments military loyalty to the civilian president became an Army doctrinal element accommodating especially the second of his missions, which is to ensure Internally, a concept that encompasses both social peace as the regime's legitimacy. That attitude, doctrine and practice-differentiated to Mexico in the second half of the twentieth century the rest of Latin America, where the armies were ready to the coup and the establishment of military dictatorships in the name of democracy.
Now things have changed. In Latin America, as a result of economic failure, political, social and moral development of neoliberalism, unquestionably increase the democratic and progressive governments to give their commitment to social programs and national perspective. Mexico, in a regressive movement towards its own history, has been placed on the extreme right the Latin American region and has been unthinkably here, here, where there was a coup: an operation designed to preserve the established power and breach of constitutional provisions, carried out by organs of the State with the participation or tolerance of strength machines, designed to impose a de facto government on society and against the popular will and interests. It is a government in fact, a de facto government.
Nevertheless, Mexico's armed forces have grassroots. His foot came from veteran men who formed the Constitutionalist army that fought the usurper and other revolutionary forces. Still Today is fed troops and officers from the popular classes. Among the leaders and generals hear the explanation, sometimes plaintively, "that most young people who join the military schools do not guided by a clear military vocation, but because the military education is still an option for the poor, provides housing, food, livelihood, career and social mobility. That's why the Mexican soldiers, with military education, training receive patriotic, inculcated by the doctrine, but supported at the origin of class.
military doctrine is not the invention of a visionary: a mining history, and knowledge of current aimed at meeting the objectives to be achieved. In the case of Mexico, higher levels of doctrine are patriotism, loyalty, courage, discipline, obedience, preparation and professional development. These values \u200b\u200bare grown at both the institutional and the personal, through the recollection of the events that give rise to the recognition of the acts that reiterate and reinforce conceptual methodical and systematic. It is necessary to supplement and update.
Loyalty to the president was a breakthrough of the Mexican military doctrine, but now, under the current circumstances in Mexico, the Americas and the world, the institution again military must step forward and raise that loyalty to the Republic, the Constitution, democracy and, ultimately, to the Mexican nation.
The de facto government's power comes from the institutions. Legitimate power comes from the people. Legitimate President of Mexico was invested by the people, Mr. Calderón, elevated by the oligarchy, was also rescued by the generals, without whose support has not been possible takeover.
MEXICO FOR A FAIR and without rancor, SIN MEXICO BY LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES,? Fundemos The Fourth Republic!
