Rear Admiral Isaac Rojas and Juan Carlos Palacios, Argentina
Jul. 07, 1959 - Duel in Argentina: During a Congress session in Buenos Aires recently, Rear Admiral Isaac Rojas was offended by Robert A. Galeano, one of President Frondizi's deputies. Rojas immediately demanded a duel, which took place near Pilar, Province of Buenos Aires. They both fired twice, but all shots missed and nobody was hurt. Rear Admiral Rojas was the man who sent the ultimatum of President Peron from the Navy threatening to bomb the capital during the September 1955 revolution when President Peron was overthrown.
