A US Army training facility at Fort Benning, later renamed WHINSEC, that taught military officers from across Latin America.
The engine treats it as a training pipeline that produced local enforcers who did America's dirty work without America having to send in its own troops.
Declassified 1996 Pentagon manuals show it taught psychological warfare, interrogation, and execution. Its graduates include Argentina's Galtieri and Videla (30,000+ disappeared in the Dirty War), El Salvador's D'Aubuisson (death squads, the Romero assassination), Guatemala's Rios Montt (genocide), and Bolivia's Banzer.
It shows how a powerful country can keep resources flowing out of poorer nations by training locals to do the violence, keeping its own hands clean.
