		Leopoldo Fortunato Galtieri (July 15, 1926 - January 12, 2003) was an Argentinian general and dictator.
		Galtieri's strength was sufficient to allow him to remove a number of rival generals and, in December 1981, to bring him the presidency of Argentina.
		Galtieri, like most observers, considered that the once-mighty armed forces of the United Kingdom had been cut back too far and simply did not have the resources to contest the issue.

		While Galtieri and almost all of the other defendants in the case are retired from the military, one remains on active duty, and his arrest has caused considerable consternation in the general staff of the Argentine military.

		Gen. Leopoldo Galtieri was never one of your big-time dictators, just a run-of-the-mill generalissimo of the kind who once had a hammerlock on Latin America's presidential palaces.
		Galtieri himself was said to have cooked up the 1981-82 program whereby the junta cut back on kidnapping and killing its enemies and instead kidnapped and killed its enemies' children.
		Galtieri spent the last 20 years telling his dwindling circle of acquaintances that it never occurred to him the British would fight back.

		Galtieri retired to his flat in the downmarket Buenos Aires suburb of Devoto.
		Galtieri maintained his silence on the subject to the grave: he had, he once said in a rare interview, "no regrets".
