| Sumario: | Since the Malvinas war’s end until present, the definitions of the war veteran/ex-combatant identity have been different depending on the social actor, space and time that we study. The State, the Armed Forces, the public opinion, the war veterans, those who demand being recognized as veterans, have established different boundaries of the social group recognized and legitimated for its participation in war, and that resulted in conflicts and violent clashes between the different sectors. In the present article, we address how the Apostadero Naval Malvinas members’ -a naval logistics unit that was set up for the conflict and existed until its end- define the war veteran/ex-combatant identity, using oral sources. Also, we analyze the hierarchizations that go through these identity constructions depending on the experience, space and time parameters. |
