The context of its emergence, the memory politics of Chile’s post-transition decade, the political categories of victim and perpetrator, and the depoliticization of Chilean society more broadly meant ex-conscripts as individuals and as a movement had incentives to silence politics when they began to talk about their experiences. More fundamentally, however, ex-conscript memory is shaped less by Cold War rivalries or local political struggle than by ideas of patriotism, masculine identity, work, family values, and poverty that remained relatively constant throughout the twentieth-century and independent of trajectory of political and ideological conflict. Historicizing twenty-first-century memory of military service under Pinochet therefore requires turning to the apolitical. Desde mediados de la década de 2000, aparecieron agrupaciones de ex conscriptos que cumplieron con el servicio militar durante la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet. Estos grupos crecieron y se unieron como movimiento suelto que demandó el reconocimiento como víctimas y reparaciones económicas. Se surgió una manera compartida de recordar el servicio militar que logró unir a los casi 100.000 ex reclutas que se habían movilizado a finales de 2013. Este artículo analiza el desafió que la memoria colectiva y apolítica del servicio militar bajo Pinochet supone al memoryscape politizado de Chile. El contexto social y cultural del surgimiento de la memoria del servicio militar, las políticas de la memoria de los 1990, las categorías politizadas de víctima y victimario, y la despolitización más amplia de la sociedad chilena significaban que ex conscriptos, como individuos y como movimiento, tenían incentivos para silenciar lo político cuando empezaron para hablar de sus experiencias. Más importante que las rivalidades de la Guerra Fría y la lucha política que dividió a Chile, sin embargo, fueron concepciones de patriotismo, la identidad masculina, el trabajo, la familia y la pobreza que se mantuvieron relativamente constantes durante todo el siglo XX e independiente de la trayectoria del conflicto político e ideológico. Por lo tanto, la historización de la memoria del servicio militar bajo Pinochet en el siglo XXI requiere que el estudio de la memoria gire hacia lo apólitico.

description	From the mid-2000s, advocacy groups representing ex-conscripts who served during the Pinochet dictatorship began to emerge. These groups grew and formed a loose movement that demanded recognition as victims and reparations for its members. A common sense of victimhood and a shared way of remembering military service evolved that was able to unite the cohort of nearly 100,000 former recruits that had mobilized by the end of 2013. This paper examines the challenge to Chile’s politicized memoryscape posed by a collective memory of military service under Pinochet that is apolitical. The context of its emergence, the memory politics of Chile’s post-transition decade, the political categories of victim and perpetrator, and the depoliticization of Chilean society more broadly meant ex-conscripts as individuals and as a movement had incentives to silence politics when they began to talk about their experiences.
