The only trouble is... he was fighting for the Argentinians.
Which rather reminds me of the late Bernard Manning:
While Manning's routine made little attempt to be topical, he could occasionally hint at subversion.
As when, soon after the Falklands war, he told his audience that two soldiers from the conflict were present.
As the jingoistic cheers rang out, Manning embarrassed the audience by adding: "They're Argentinians."

Carlos Cortiglia was not a volunteer, was not in the Argentine Army and did not fight in the Falklands.
Argentine Ministy of Defense

There was a Colonel Nestor Eduardo Corsiglia
Not Carlos Gerardo Cortiglia Coronel
The Ministry of Defense information was pretty conclusive. There was no Carlos Cortiglia. The rumours spread by a British left-wing organization are being investigated and the Argentine Embassy in London has been informed.
