>Maybe it was a strategic choice, not having many allies in the courts or the congress or the media...
He does have allies in Congress after bribing them, but at this point this support merely keeps him in power.
His efforts to rehabilitate the military period are a bad strategic choice, picking a cause which has little direct impact on people's lives, doesn't even have unanimous support (the dictatorship was popular at its apex and unpopular at its end) and fights off present-day civic propaganda with 70s civic propaganda. He's not a very intellectual officer, all he can do is repeat the old "Democratic Revolution of March 31st, 1964" rhetoric, even though "revolution" is a poor term for the historical reality, even "counterrevolution" makes more sense. A more productive endeavor would be to dehabilitate the memory of the communist guerrillas, who by this point have officially become "victims of political repression" even when they died in combat.
