When Rico described the low state of military morale since the 1982 Falklands war, Alfonsin replied that he could not grant amnesty, and gave the rebels 30 minutes to surrender. The mutiny ended without a shot, but the rebels won an apparent concession in the resignation of Army Chief of Staff General Hector Rios Erenu, 56, who supported the trials.
