Still, nobody is going to war. Most of Peru (except the Army Leadership) does not want it, we don't want it, and even if Bolivia wanted it, they wouldn't last. Chile spends huge sums of money on the military, and while our population is far lesser than the Peruvian and Bolivian combined (even lesser than Peru alone), our army outclasses theirs (we use Leopard tanks v. the Peruvian T-55, and the Bolivians use the Kürassier and several vehicles from former soviet countries), our navy is stronger in 2:1 proportion (12 frigates, 7 corvettes and 4 submarines v. 6 frigates, 4 corvettes and 4 submarines), and the only place were Peru is even with Chile is the Air Force, since they use modified MIG 29 that can prove a real match to the F-16 of the Chilean Air Force.

There's one problem, dear chap. Your Commander-In-Chief is Mr. Bad Luck Wink

Anyway, I kinda sympathize with Bolivian sentiments. After all, lacking a sea access contributed in large part to them being the poorest South American country.

Yet obviously regaining long-lost territory is not going to happen and Bolivia should try to settle the dispute differently, trying to negotiate access to ports and some communication route (after all, Paraguayan Navy has access to Argentinian ports, for example Wink)
