In the 1960 the Bolivian army attempted to take out the administration and take over the country. They got their butts kicked by the national police.

When I was there and Bolivia and the US had good relations in the 1990s, the national police had the latest US gear, including M-4s, very professional new uniforms.

I ran into some of their army guys at a checkpoint and they only had a few old rusted out WW-II mini 14s ragged uniforms and sandals instead of boots.

Chile has never lost a war. They have a small but very professional military. Chile has had a fair amount of German influence in it’s military in the past.
