Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te 12 o Hanuere 1981, ko te Boricua Popular Army, e mohiotia ana hoki ko te Macheteros, he roopu o nga kaiwhakatuma Puerto Rican i tipu ake i te kaainga e tautoko ana i te wehenga mai i te United States me te whakaturanga o Puerto Rico hei iwi motuhake, i uru ki te Muñiz Air National Guard Base. I patuhia ki nga pupuhi ngongo, i whakangaro, i whara ranei i nga rererangi PRANG tekau ma tahi: tekau A-7D Corsair IIs me te kotahi F-104 Starfighter i tiakina hei whakaaturanga pumau hei whakamaharatanga. Ko te whakaeke kaiwhakatuma te mea nui rawa atu i runga i tetahi whakaurunga o te US Air Force mai i te Pakanga o Vietnam, ahakoa ko te ahuatanga o te whakaraerae i Iran i taua wa i whakahawea ki tenei kaupapa i roto i nga purongo purongo. Ko nga rererangi tekau ma tahi o te Air National Guard i te Muñiz Air National Guard Base i whakapaehia e nga whakahaere pāpori kia whakamahia mo
he hunga whakakeke rongonui i El Salvador. Kāore ēnei whakapae i whakamātauria, ā, he poroporoaki whaiaro pea.
