Carlos Büsser in April 2012

Rear Admiral Carlos Alberto César Büsser (Rosario, January 10, 1928 – Buenos Aires, September 29, 2012) was the commander of Argentine forces during Operation Rosario, the amphibious operation that took the Falkland Islands in 1982, and forced the surrender of their Governor, Rex Hunt. Following the War, he was appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a position he held until his retirement in December 1983. He died of a heart attack in 2012, and since 2009 had been under house arrest for alleged human rights abuses.[1][2]
