This paper studies the origins, context, and characteristics of an indoctrination process. The Argentine State policy from 1976-1983 involved the military personnel and security forces in situations that were contrary to human rights. The training these men had received in the barracks and military schools in the previous years made these crimes against humanity episodes of a "revolutionary war" that Argentina was subjected to. This indoctrination transformed war and security professionals into modern crusaders, convinced that the crimes against these "subversives" were good deeds carried out "in the name of God and Country." Elements belonging to intransigent Catholicism and the far right accomplished this indoctrination with a decidedly "French accent." On one hand, by introducing into Argentine military circles the French revolutionary war doctrine that had become dominant in strategy and doctrines for Argentine armed forces and security forces. On the other hand, by the action developed by certain secular and religious groups of French origin set up in Argentina that actively participated in the indoctrination.
