History was not kind to Lieutenant-Colonel Piaggi. Because he surrendered on National Army Day he was forced to resign from the Argentinian Army. And his military competence was called into question. After a long fight in the military and civilian courts, Piaggi had his retired military rank and pension reinstated. He died in 2012.
