As an Argentine myself I would like to say some things. 1. War was a mistake, most stupid mistake that Argentina ever made in terms of intrernational politics. (And we have done really stupid mistakes in this country, so that is a deep low) 2. The falklands/malvinas islanders already made it clear that they prefer being ruled by british. And yes, we can argue about who owned the land 150 years ago, but honestly makes no sense at this point. And even if some believe Argentina deserves to rule the islands right now, aside from what locals want, war was stupid, Argentinian goverment should realized that trying to war against a experienced country like British with such old weapons, bad training for ground forces and everything against the odds was stupid as minimum. Let's be realistic, aside from who owned the islands 150 years ago, the islanders obviously feel more friendly to british, and the stupid war only increased that feeling for sure (basically we fucked it up even more) 3. As Argentine myself, I am patriotic about my country a bit. But don't make the mistake of thinking that goverment is the same thing as the country and its people for me. I dislike all argentine goverments since soooo long. And I do respect anyone who was in the battlefield, british soldiers were fighting for what the believed it was correct, and some young near teen argentinians did too, even if they were brainwashed by the goverment, you must understand that they were between eighteen to twenty years old sometimes, naive and really young. Even if you hate Argentinian goverment for what they did, at least respect the soldiers... as some veterans do by themselves eachother: both, british people and argentinian people, should learn about the veterans instead of hating people who we don't even know. If some of them were able to forgive their enemy and respect eachother, we should try to. Respect from Argentina to anyone reading this.

I think it is a great shame that a dictatorship took Argentina to war and that we were compelled to fight and defeat them in order to restore democracy. I think it was absolutely the right thing to do, but so entirely needless in the first place. That’s why I feel great sorrow at the loss of life on both sides. And just for your information, I am an officer in the Royal Navy and I have been to the Falkland Islands on patrol in 2005. I’ve seen the battlefields and been up tumbledown. It’s a sobering experience and all the blustering armchair generals here need to grow up a little and discover some humanity inside themselves about what was an exceptionally sad affair, when all is said and done.

Whining and complaining about the waste, the horror of war really is a moot point because all you enjoy today, your very existence, the way of life, culture, civilization depended on frankly a war, at some stage. For example, had the Battle of Vienna been lost, or the Battle of Tours, Europe would be Islamic today. To me, those were great victories and wars well worth the fight and price. I am proud of my European ancestors for what they did to save Europe from an Islamic hell. I am not pro-war, but understand reality and sometimes one has no option but to fight or die.

Geralt of Rivia Of course you don’t have the option sometimes between fighting or dying or even fighting AND dying as it happens, but I don’t see things such as civilisation as being dependent on or created by war, rather that they are influenced and shaped by wars. Civilisations aren’t created from wars, because wars don’t create anything in and of themselves; it’s an illogical thing to expect war to produce. It can only eliminate or rule out certain things or directions of travel. It can’t create. Take for example the outcome of this war. Democracy was restored, but the sum total was a loss of life. The essential payment was a loss and the net result was restoration of a pre existing situation. The alternative would have been another loss, the subjugation and eradication of the islanders and the settlement there. So the war stood to produce two outcomes one way or another, but both were losses in the final reckoning. Like surgery that removes living tissue to save the life of the body that it’s connected to, war can’t put anything living back in place of what it removes; it can only stop the rot or spread of disease by cutting out the illness or stitching the wound.

In 1982 just before the Falklands conflict loomed, I left the merchant navy. A month later my ship, a RO RO was requisitioned by the British Government and joined the task force, with my relief onboard. Thankfully, though being under attack, both ship and my friend survived and returned home safely. In 1992, I rejoined the merchant navy as a radio officer - my first ship was the Norland. It came as a surprise when on board to learn of its sterling service in the Falklands war. I have great respect for all those who shipped south, not knowing if they would come back. As for myself, I considered myself extremely lucky, lucky that my leave was due and did not find myself caught up in such a bitter conflict.

Yup, imperialism is unacceptable. I presume, therefore, that the Argentines will drop their imperialistic claim to the Falkland Islands and then evacuate Argentina itself for their ancestral homelands in Spain, Italy and elsewhere in Europe leaving the Pampas to their original inhabitants..

Kimberly Williams So many falsehoods in your diatribe. I will restrict myself to correcting you on two. Firstly the Royal Household takes money from no pockets. No taxes are used to cover its expenses. The Household is funded by 15% of the income of the Duchy of Lancaster. Secondly, the Falklands were British long before Argentina was established by Spanish and Italian settlers who pushed the natives off their land. If you are suggesting that the map of the world should revert to the way it looked in 1690, well I would like to warn you that quite a few people might be upset at the prospect.

En realidad Las Malvinas siempre estuvieron bajo la soberanía española, y luego argentina. Los británicos se establecieron en unos pocos años en la isla que ellos llaman Pebble (creo), pero luego fueron expulsados por los españoles en 1770. Y luego se fueron en 1774. La Argentina es sucesora legal de España, bajo varios nombres, Provincias Unidas, Confederación Argentina y República Argentina. Es lo mismo que ocurre con el Reino Unido, cuando ocupa las Malvinas creo que no figuraba Irlanda en el título del país, pero todos sabemos quienes son.

What is most depressing is the Anglo-Argentine relationship, today - thirty six years later. Contrast it with the Anglo-German relationship: within a decade of WW2, we were NATO allies, educational, cultural and trading partners, sporting rivals that were building a constructive future. We read here, all the "What ifs" in the conflict - What if these 2 democracies had reconciled themselves in the intervening years? The answer must surely have been peace and prosperity; this dysfunctional relationship (except the sport of Polo and the odd bottle of Malbec) is depressing!

I put to you, the relationship between Germany and the UK, after WW1. Considerably colder than after WW2. Losing a war does that. It breeds terrible resentment. It happens when the people of a defeated nation still consider that victory would have been justified. Father to sons, teacher to students. But with each new generation this is slowly going away. Argentina is a country of moral infants. Slowly growing up. This is undeniable. The terror attack against the jews in Argentina and their appauling response...

There was only sporadic electricity and water and the sanitation system collapsed. The streets were ankle-deep in human waste. The stench was awful, really awful, and we were all suffering from what we called Galtieri's revenge. He lost the war but left us ill." (Occupation of the Falkland Islands, WIKIPEDIA)

I remember this all unfolding while at secondary school, our history teacher let us watch the news and read the papers in class. It was surreal, Britain at war in my lifetime...very strange. Of course we have other conflicts since but, to be so young and the only other wars/conflicts were told by grandparents , uncles etc. Later in life I read and watched about the Falklands again and was shocked really at how the Argentinian troops looked after surrendering. They didn't want to be there, just conscripted lads with basic training and a officer corps that was, in some places, rotten in how it treated the them. The Junta gambled and failed in that the UK would do nothing...professional soldiers through and through. I have spoken to many US soldiers who served with UK forces and all have said they would work with and fight with British soldiers any time and knew they could depend on them in a firefight also they had a very high respect for UK officers. As has been stated, many Argentinian people are/were good and were treated with fear under terrible governments for many years...the Falklands was one too many. Although the democratic governments in power still rattle their sabres over the Falkland islands at times, I think a lesson has been learned...leave alone.

To be fair to the Argie officers & NCOs, Lieutenant Chris Caroe from X-Ray Coy 45 Commando spoke highly of them when he explained that although the defenders his platoon encountered on Southern Two Sisters were mainly conscripts “they were a force to be reckoned with because they were led by skilled regulars.” www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/chester-cheshire-news/ex-marine-chris-caroe-chester-recalls-5179719 Lieutenant Clive Dytor whose platoon took part in the fighting for the Northern Two Sisters confirms this view when he mistook the ordinary conscripts and NCOs for hardened enemy marines, “The Argentine marines all fought to the end and were killed with bullets and bayonets.

@@eddiesolo1971 The great problem of the war is that Argentina only planned the recapture of the islands, and a hypothetical subsequent negotiation. It was never thought of going to war against the United Kingdom. That is why the total improvisation of the defense, and the fact of sending troops from a subtropical zone to a place with a sub-Antarctic climate. The troops in principle were "symbolic" and were not intended to fight. Even the III Infantry Brigade crossed to the islands without their heavy equipment.

I think it was criminal of the Argentine leadership to send those young conscripts in there like that. Surely their intelligence services must have had some clue of what the professional British forces were going to do when they landed in the Falklands. Those conscripts never stood a chance. But one thing is for sure... credit where credit is due...the Argentine naval and air force pilots showed their metal. I've read that as far as they were concerned, their mission was to save their comrades on the ground and they sure fought hard. Hats off.

The Junta didn't really expect Britain to fight at all. They thought the invasion would force some kind of negotiated settlement that would eventually give them sovereignty of the Islands. By the time they realised their mistake it was too late to withdraw their troops, Argentine public opinion made that politically impossible. So they found themselves fighting a war that they just weren't mentally prepared for and couldn't cope with.

They throw together whatever they can find in the garden shed to keep the enemy at bay, make deals and alliances with the right people and quietly but effectively undermine their enemies while waiting for their arrogance to get the better of them. They understand the pitfalls of this arrogance from firsthand experience - when they were at the height of their power they used to suffer embarrassing defeats as well.

LONDON (AP) _ Britain would not have recaptured the Falkland Islands from Argentina in 1982 without U.S. military assistance, former U.S. Navy Secretary John Lehman was quoted Sunday as saying. In a British Broadcasting Corp. television interview to be broadcast Wednesday night, Lehman also says U.S. involvement in the Falklands war led indirectly to the Irangate scandal, the Observer newspaper reported. The weekly said Lehman’s interview will be included in the latest episode of ″An Ocean Apart,″ a BBC documentary series on British-American relations. ″Britain would have had to have withdraw from the Falklands″ if the Reagan administration withheld support, it quoted Lehman as saying. U.S. military aid in the 74-day war, in which Britain recaptured the South Atlantic archipelago from invading Argentine forces, has been a closely guarded secret, the Observer said. ″Lehman is the first senior U.S. official to claim that the Pentagon’s supplies of intelligence and material were so great as to have been decisive,″ it said.

@@carinajauregui9383 But that 1810 declaration was not for the Argentina but open the fight for the creation of Argentina. Its formal creation was not internationally accepted until 1861 when the country became a federation along the borders recognised today. This did not exercise a claim for the Falkland islands/ las Malvinas. The British claim to sovereignty dates from 1690, when they made the first recorded landing on the islands. Spain did make claims that the Falkland Islands were to held under provisions in the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht which settled the limits of the Spanish Empire in the Americas. However, the treaty only promised to restore the territories in the Americas held prior to the War of the Spanish Succession. The Falkland Islands was not held by Spain at the time and were not mentioned in the treaty. This treaty would be the sole claim by Spain and its successors that could be considered. But as the island were already claimed by Britain this 1713 Spanish claim failed. You may feel that Viceroyalty of the River Plate claimed the Falklands in 1811 but whilst this covered part of Argentina it was not a pre-argentine government and its claim was based on the previous Spanish Claim.

Some corrections: Argentina was recognized by the United Kingdom in 1825 (by the way, your country did not make any reservations about the Malvinas where Argentina already exercised sovereignty) Argentina took formal possession of the islands on November 6, 1820 without any formal complaint from the United Kingdom (which, as I told you, 5 years later recognized Argentine independence) The British claim to FULL sovereignty over the islands dates back to 1829. Until that time the British only claimed Pebble and Saunders Islands. In 1690 James Strong landed on the islands, BUT DID NOT CLAIM SOVEREIGNTY (that is a recent invention of British propagandists) Spain has always exercised control of its possessions, including the Austral Sea (South Atlantic). Utrecht only recognized the Spanish sphere of influence (supported by the British who did not want the French to interfere in the Spanish Empire now that the same royal family ruled in both countries) The United Kingdom did not claim the islands, but settled in Port Egmont in 1765, but the French were already in Port Luis (1764), and recognized Spanish sovereignty in 1766. In short, the British were late to claim possession, and late to claim sovereign rights. Greetings

In 1953 I was serving in the flagship of the American and West Indies squadron. a light cruiser. An Argentine frigate was reported as sniffing around the Falklands so we had to go down there to chase them away. They wisely legged it pretty quickly after it was made known that we were on our way and we sat in the harbour at Port Stanley for a couple of weeks just in case they came back.

With all that rubbish and crap piled-up in the streets and buildings of Stanley it must have made the Argentinians feel homesick for Argentina.

Rápido, solo hay 40 marines británicos en Port Stanley. Si enviamos a 4.500 hombres, podríamos vencerlos

Argentinians are not native to the Falklands nor have they EVER established a community on the islands. It is simply not their land and never was.

I am surprised that the entrenched enemy still falls for the old unexpected surprise by the back door tactic. Hannibal, the Arden, Korea ect...

Hiding artillery between homes, painting humanitarian crosses on military targets, using schools as ammunition deposits, does it remind you of some places in Middle East?
