Chilean sailors’ warlike chant makes noise online
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Chile’s presidency gave the navy 24 hours to punish those responsible for a sailors’ nationalist chant that got posted on Youtube and threatens to upset the country’s neighbors.
The recording shows Chilean sailors chanting “I will kill Argentines, I will gun down Bolivians, I will decapitate Peruvians.”
Government spokeswoman Cecilia Perez called the footage “shameful images” on Wednesday.
Navy chief Edmundo Gonzalez and Deputy Defense Minister Alfonso Vargas said those responsible would be punished.
