Did you know? 1) In the Falklands War both sides were armed with similar infantry weapons. For example the FAL Battle Rifle. The British had the semi-automatic L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle while the Argentinians had the standard full auto FAL. The Sterling SMG could also be seen on both sides. 2) The civilian Cruise ship Queen Elizabeth 2 was used in the task force to carry 3,000 troops and 650 volunteer crew to the islands Please keep comments and discussion civil.

No problem, allow me to elaborate. 13 colonies were gradually founded by Britain on the eastern coast of North America, along with other colonies. To keep their holdings, the British crown _literally_ sent troops across the Atlantic, which aided in their efforts to maintain control when the colonists rebelled. That clear things up?

I'm Argentinean. Removing folk themes of rivalry, they fought well, English. The Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas to me) were won with honor. My great-grandfather was a fighter, he was captured a month before the end of the war and the English treated him very well, with dignity. My grandfather was about to be sent when the war ended. Rest in peace the young argentinian boys who were recruited and sent to die against their will

Half trained? I've spoke to quite a few of our veterans from 3 Para charged with the recapture of Mt Longdon initially. They all say there weren't many conscripts there and that the Argentine soldiers fought with valour and balls. There's absolutely zero disrespect at all. I think Ian McKay got a VC for his bravery during the operation, when in truth they all served one. To put this into perspective Britain in a week-end got together a task force who sailed 8000 miles across to the other side of the world, into their winter and launched an attack against enemy forces who had been allowed to dig in and take all the premium spots and oust them. They did that quite unbelievable job in a little over 2 months. This is the stuff of legend people, even the most partisan Argentinians must agree with that when looked at properly. They won't though because of the military junta propaganda at the time. Sadly they've still not given up their rights to sovereignty of the islands and know one day they'll get them but know it can't be by conventional force. This whole operation sent out ripples to the world.

Although the Falkland Islands has been reclaimed, British Imperial troops has driven the Argentine Forces from their bases and pursued them across the seas. Evading the dreaded Imperial Fleet, a group of freedom fighters led by Leopoldo Galtieri has established a new base on the remote islands of The Falkland Islands. The Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, obsessed with reclaiming the Falkland Islands has dispatched dozens of troops into the far reaches of the Atlantic Ocean....

There's a possibly apocryphal story I was once told about an Argentinian soldier who was stood on sentry duty outside of Port Stanley. He came face to face with a team of SAS on a recon mission before the attack was scheduled to begin the next day. The SAS team leader told the Argentine (who, as you can probably imagine, was scared out of his mind) to tell his commanding officer what he had seen, whereupon they returned to the cover of darkness.

You know that Shakespeare, Elisabeth I and Francis Bacon spoke Spanish perfectly, like all English aristocratic families in the 16th and 17th centuries. In fact Shakespeare wrote The Tempest, calling on Spain to invade England, to free her. Prospero (Duke of Milan), is Philip II (Duke of Milan, King of Spain and King of England and Ireland). Sycorax, the evil witch, is Elisabeth I. Caliban, the deformed monster, is the Anglicans (deformed about Shakespeare's Catholicism). I don't mind speaking American English on the Internet, 5 minutes a day, until I have to speak Chinese 5 minutes a day. You know that when the British Empire died, nobody spoke English, the international language was French. In my country almost nobody studied American English until 1980. When the 13 colonies became independent with the help of Spain, which made a naval block to Britain capturing 80 British warships full of soldiers and weapons, Spain owned 65% of the territory The USA, from Florida to Alaska, and the USA adopted the Spanish dollar, not the pound sterling. The United States did the same, and then sold many hamburgers and E.T. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial worldwide. But the great culture is European. The most spoken language in the West is Spanish: 500 million speakers (460 million native speakers. More than English). But in addition, Spanish and Portuguese are 90% similar languages ​​(I understand the Portuguese language without studying it, and without translation), so there are 260 million more, who speak Iberian mother tongue. 760 million natives in total, and the growth is very fast.

Fun Fact: As the British sailors aboard the sinking HMS Sheffield were awaiting air evacuation, they were singing "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life", a famous song written by Eric Idle of the British comedy troupe Monty Python. The song is, as of 2014, the most popular song Britons would like played at their funerals. It is also a very popular song at football matches, especially by the losing teams. However, Ajax Amsterdam football fans started singing it after their victory over Real Madrid in March of 2019.

There was a British bomber, Avro Vulcan if I'm correct that didn't have enough fuel and had to land in Brazil, they tried to drop their missiles on the sea but one of them failed, the crew were taken prisoners but were released later with their aircraft, but Brazil refused to return the missile and we almost had a situation with the Brits. Some said that the military did reversed engineering on the missile and the technology is still used today. Just for the context, from 1964 to 1985 Brazil was ruled by the Military.

The warship Guerrico if anyone is wondering. Royal Marines put enough bazooka fire into it to disable its main gun, AA guns and Exocet launcher, plus sniper fire to disable its bridge and gave it a 30 degree list. Unfortunately bazookas are not designed to operate too well near water & spray, 3 of the bazooka rounds failed to detonate below the water line. Had they done so; by all estimates it would have sunk.

As an Argentinean myself, I find it hard to understand why do our people think that we have a right over the islands. There are several factors that should be against it like: 1) We never had sovereignty over it to begin with. 2) This operations was lead by a de facto military junta that made a lot of people dissapear and is universally hated in my country 3) Most of our soldiers were part of the "Colimba" wich was basically obligatory military service, but instead of teaching you to fight, they'll have you as a servant of the officers (the term colimba itself is an acronym for "run, clean, mop" in Spanish. These were 18 year old kids with a gun, poor them. And finally and most importantly, we lost. Yeah, it sucks that we lost, but we lost nonetheless. They secured their sovereignty over the islands while we were unable to, so logic dictates it's British until we can retake it (which seems really unlikely seeing our current military and political situation) I'm sick of hearing my people calling usurpers the brits when they just won. I wish we would just get over it.

Pablo Herrera learn the difference between de facto and de jure ownership. The Argies set up a settlement in the islands without the permission of either England, who claimed them by right of discovery, or Spain, the only other nation with any kind of claim. You had a de facto possession of the island for a time, until you tried to actually exert sovereignty over the waters around the islands and the United States promptly said "Right, no you don't. Off home you go!" and home you went, under the guns of the US Navy. You never had a de jure claim to the islands. You SQUATTED there. And when you got obnoxious, a neutral third party drove you off and you could do nothing about it. The islands were not yours. End of story.

My memory may be off so yeah anyways she said he had about 2-3 weeks of training was he had no idea what was going on all he knew was he was going to that island. He was involved in one fight during that and he got shot a couple of times and according to her he doesn’t have any ptsd or anything among that sort of thing well besides a couple of scars.
