Ten Malvinas war Rio Gallegos veterans plan to visit Falklands next October
Ten Malvinas war veterans from Rio Gallegos are scheduled to visit the Falkland Islands next October 8, according to a report from “Tiempo Digital Sur” a digital newspaper from the capital of the Patagonian province of Santa Cruz.
The announcement was made by Enrique Fernando Alturria, President of the Malvinas War Veterans Centre Private Jose Honorio Ortega.
“A first group of ten veterans will be flying next October 8. They are mainly from Rio Gallegos but also from other locations in the province”, said Alturria.
He said that the idea of having the Malvinas veterans fly to the Islands is a project which was born over a year ago following a chat with (provincial) cabinet secretary, Minister Gustavo Martínez.
“We told him (Martinez) about our project and asked about what chances for the province to finance the trip to those Malvinas war veterans who would like to go again to the Islands, because we know that some of them are not yet prepared”, said Alturria.
Sometime last December “Martinez rang me up and told me he had talked it over with the governor and he had said it was a good idea”.
Alturria added that for the “war veteran that can’t travel, there’s a chance for his son to go so he can see where his father fought”.
The Veterans centre president said the ideal time to visit Malvinas is in October or March, “because now it’s all covered in snow; winter was rather late this year”.
Finally Alturria said that the logistics, transport and housing will be the responsibility of Sebastián, “an Argentina who married a local and who is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the Argentine cemetery”.

Needless to say I expect BsAs to try and milk it for as much propaganda as they can manage.
“Needless to say I expect BsAs to try and milk it for as much propaganda....” Is not Buenos Aires, is the K government, let me remind you about the election results? The Capital is not a K territory, some of us think quite different from this gang of marxists. Viva la Patria !! (at least what is left over of it ...... ) :-))
I am sure you aren't talking about the Argentina that you and your friends sold decades ago.
Enjoy the future CFK landslide victory from 8000 km away.
Can this guy run for president?
“that you and your friends sold decades ago......” sold to who? If you live in freedom right now is because of us .... and for the record is 10,000 km BTW. :-))
@6 Can this guy run for president?..... He should !!! straight talk and common sense
You say:
”If you live in freedom right now is because of us ....”
I say:
Many of us are alive right now despite you……..
You say also:
”And for the record is 10,000 km”….
I say:
For the record…………. If we take Abilene as the geographical center of Tejas, the distance to Buenos Aires is ~8500 km.

so you did open it then ....otherwise you wouldn't know what is in it?
The content of this one is quite previsible...............
But you are wrong, señor, we have every sovereign right over OUR lslands & you have none.
Think, you are a coward, bastard, traitor. Mienten, mienten, engañan a millones de Argentinos, abrazan a Hebe de Bonafini, la misma que dijo que todos los que fueron a la guerra por las islas del atlántico sur tendrían que haber muerto allá, y luego ustedes hablan de amar a la patria argentina y a las islas malvinas y a los veteranos jajaja. y después están acá llamando piratas a los británicos, invasores y no sé cuántas basura más jajaja No nos engañan a todos Think. Vos, Marcos Alejandro y todas las otras ratas tendrían que haber sido aniquiladas en los 70, pero bueno, escapaste, rata :) Perón los corrió de la plaza de mayo llamándolos asesinos, inverbes, cobardes, y hoy esos mismos asesinos están en el gobierno y se llaman peronistas jajaja.
“Ten Malvinas war Rio Gallegos veterans plan to visit Falklands next October” Think and Marcos Alejandro, will show his love for the veterans, his love for Argentina :)
@ 14 me quito el sombrero Artillero, eso es un patriota, eso es un Argentino. Aunque no coincido con todo lo que dice sobre reconciliación, no puede ni debe haber perdón para gente como Think, Marcos Alejandro y todas las lacras que hoy gobiernan. Su único derecho debe ser a recibir una bala en la frente.
”an Argentina who married a local and who is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the Argentine cemetery”And Think and Marcos Alejandro want to teach me that the islanders are evil people :) yes, they are so evil that an Argentine is living in the falklands :) F******CK YOU THINK! F*****CK YOU BASTARD!
Tranquilo hermano, tranquilo , no hay mal que dure 100 ni cuerpo que lo aguante ... :-)) !!

Nice brother you have Pomi, not only you aren't aware of the distance from your Texas town to Buenos Aires nor you know about the nationality of that stupid kid.
Marcos , he made a mistake, wrong ref number !! In terms of distance , I was talking about flying miles (8400 miles aprox) :-))
What units of lenghts do you Menendez'es use?
Palmos de Asturias, varas de alcalde y leguas andaluzas?
Your Mamá should get a substantialrefund from the Colegio Militar.
8.400 miles are 13.500 km......................... In Chubut and in Tejas.
The flying distance between Abilene and Buenos Aires is still 5.350 miles, equivalent to 8.610 km........................

Mt Think don't be so cruel, I had a “brain fart” , obviously I was thinking Land Miles not Flying Miles or should we measure the distance in Nautical Miles ...... and it's true the Menendez come from Asturias!!
Since i broke my contract with the Army , I had to pay in 86, 5000 dollars ... no refund for mama unfortunately!!
Where did you learn that? Palomar?
Dedicate solamente a lo que te enseñaron: tender la cama, y recibir ordenes.
Por que en galicia no hay árboles?
… porque los gallegos los mataron buscando la raiz
cuadrada.
Ya estaba esperando la respuesta de 'Robin”, que tipo de cama Marquitos? la cuadrada o la de triangulos? Para que sepas , los Artilleros en el 80 ya haciamos diagramacion logica asi que tan boludos no somos .... just for the record!!
Dice “la Chacha” que no te conoce asi que empeza a cantar de una vez ... :-))
No creo que se acuerde, pero de tus ronquidos no se pudo olvidar.
Well, for math you proved to be a disaster, let's see if you can read:
www.abogarte.com.ar/extradicion2.htm
Conoces al Grupo de Artillería Defensa Aérea 101 ?
Using Google search all the time doesn't make you a smart man, my resume is very impresive Marquitos , es mas , no me llegas ni a los cordones de los zapatos ..... to get a distance wrong from memory doesn't mean I'm not good at Math, you and your lover Think , love to take cheap shots at me .... that's fine , is almost funny sometimes. :-))
You wrote: “my resume is very impresive”
“Lo que”
Impressive it is!
Well, I think your English sounds like your math, I better learn this language from someone else.
For now on I'm gonna “copy” and “paste” like you then ..... :-))
Think is not Argentine but is British.

He's a troll. you shouldn't feed the trolls.

Marcos -Back on story - looks like we have sent a few Tomahawks into Libya. Watch the fall of another dictator”
Today is August 28 2011
You made it sound like it will take a few days not several months, not to mention that UK and France had to cry for help to the Americans when they could not do it themselves.
Congratulations to the Lybian people getting rid of the old dictator Gaddafi, friend of the British by the way.
“Tony Blair our very special adviser by dictator Gaddafi's son”
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1284132/Tony-Blair-special-adviser-dictator-Gaddafis-son.html#ixzz1LaCQ4EHO
And how would you know this? Unless you worked for them!
The fact that we worked hard to bring Gadaffi in from the cold has meant we could get to him and precipitate the current events quicker than it would have been. Gadaffi deconstructed his nuclear weapons programme as a result etc etc. He miscalculated the fact that we were more than happy to assit in his removal. You know what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.
If you wish to congratulate the Libyan people then petition your regional leaders to officially recognize the new Libyan gvt.
In the end though, I was right and you were wrong, again! Know your place!
Sit Ubu, sit !! :-))
Because it's public information. Anyone whos watched a james bond film would know that he works for MI6.

Beef, not matter what you said now, your message from March was clear enough, you thought that in a few days was going to be over. After all most of the work was done by the Americans, Brits only cried for help.
“No wonder we can't even topple a tin-pot gangster like Gaddafi: Invincible, pride of the Falklands, is broken up in knacker's yard”

Well Marcos, actually they are a specialist in cry like babies for help.
That´ss exactly what they did in WW1 begging for help to the U.S., as well as for WW2, everyone remembers Churchill almost crying for help to the Americans again for help (everybody knows they can´t beat germans) .... and of course not forgetting the heartbroken cry of Margaret Thatcher to Ronald Reagan (USA) for help in the Malvinas War which again it was impossible to win alone ..... remember the appeal of the “iron Lady” (??) to Mitterrand (France) to stop selling missiles to the Argentine excocet......ohh...please they´re sinking all our fleet !!.
Nobel Prize in cry like babies .... otherwise they are an easy target and they themselves know because of that theý not fight alone never.
Britain...so predictable and coward.
and who kicked me out Marcos? please enlighten me with your answer .....
(actual temp today 105 F, que calor !!!)
Who thought it was all going to be over in a few days? Only one of the speakers in a three hour parliamentary debate.

You're talking rubbish as usual. As fo 'crying for help', do you really not understand how NATO and the UN work? Well probably not.
And where was Argentina? Apart from supporting a murderous dictator that is.
NATO is US that is the reality, UK does not care about the Lybian people, only care about their selfish interest, oil in this particular case.
52, Do you live with an AC in you a.. 24/7? :-)
Yes, basically!! che feca en Nov, trocen ? :-))
I did read that comment. It's the same brand of crap as yours. Are you the same person?
And what does Argentina care about? Their own selfish interst? Oil, perhaps?

I think you should !! :-))))

Anyway at least we helped the NTC and apart from a few Argie mercenaries your pathetic governent just watched from the sidelines and your regional leaders are not even recognizing the new legitimate gvt of Libya regardless if what the people of Libya want.
The fact that you have to refer to the Daily Mail says it all really.
The fact remains that you were wrong. At least you could be man enough to admit it?
I do apologise if I ever gave anyone the impression I am half Chilean. It was entirely unintentional and is not the case.
My ancestry is British and Irish. I'd be happy to add Chilean to that as I love Chile, but alas, no.
i believe you say that once time ago....seem i misundertand and i could be wrong, in that case mea culpa :)
Maybe if left to the Brits alone we could of beat our record of 74 days of sailing 8,000 miles to kick some argie arse
We kept the Germans & ltalians at bay for 2 years while the US re-armed(& made a lot of money out of us)Did we ever cry for help? Maybe, but Argentina just cries like a spoilt child when it can't get it's own way.
So you've got nothing to be proud about.
“” Think “” is the one of the personifications of “” J.A.Roberts “”
not real character...just psychological war instrument here !!
I don' t guess there are no any Brits agents here ...
BUT
could be some “” Icky “”s who are CIA organization structured
in from some US universities...know many languages...
( my familiar kid was deported from US while educates in a university
Kentucky who didn't agree run for Icky organization ).
you must take care their styles,distractions efforts...etc !

[] - 49 zet
your list is wrong...
MI5... internal/external civil intelligence
MI6 ..internal/external mainly military-security intelligence.
and have so many sub-branches...!!
-------------------
i am not an agent
BUT
my family has been having 3/4 secret service persons in everytime
since 1850 s years...besides i have many friends ...!!
in reality
almost all families have at least one person who related with any
secret services indirectly by remote intelligence in the world..
don't care...
BUT
i must say that almost none of them is clever ( don't know everything) !
What i said is not incorrect.
I stated:
“MI5-domestic intelligence and security
MI6-foreign intelligence and security”
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MI5
Its remit includes the protection of British parliamentary democracy and economic interests, counter-terrorism and counter-espionage within the UK. Although mainly concerned with internal security, it does have an overseas role in support of its mission.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Intelligence_Service - MI6
”The Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) is responsible for supplying the British Government with foreign intelligence. ”
MI5 - Internal/Domestic
MI6 - External/Foreign
And i know that there are many sub brances. I simply listed all the MI's. Most are now absorbed into MI5 And the SIS(MI6). A
69 Monty69, I believe I read that part of your ancestry is Chilean, anyway changing subjects, what do you think about the Stanley dairy closing and from where kids get the fresh milk there, thanks.
What has Stanley dairy to do with anything? I hate milk and couldn't care less.
And I'm really not Chilean.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OhmxYirWhw
in 80s years he refuged to US -Texas.
Marcos was colonel, it is true,he died in Argentina.
Alejandro was civilian not soldier .,alive .
His name was -G.D - not - G.S -.
l think that this is the 3rd time that you have put this on. Haven't you got any new ones or is this an obsession with you?
The guy is very persistent , I can give you that ! Deep inside, a nice guy, confused with the wrong ideology but at the end of the day, he is manageable. On the other hand, Mr Think, he is lost cause ..... :-))
86 My ideology: Non violence, simplicity, fairness and freedom.
I like this guy:
“Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.”
— Mahatma Gandhi
You really don't get it do you Margot?
“From the standpoint of Sun Tzu’s philosophy of war, the Mahatma Ghandi is among the greatest warriors of all time . Sun Tzu said, “Attaining one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the pinnacle of excellence. Subjugating the enemy’s army without fighting is the true pinnacle of excellence.” Gandhi defeated the most powerful empire on Earth, the British Empire, without firing a single bullet, and he was the pinnacle of excellence”
You get it Kuntz?
Ofcourse he doesn't get it. Because he, like you. Know's it's not true.
Though im glad you Argys have finally worked out that it was not Sun Tzu himself who said the above quote. That was hilarious.
I remembered reading some years ago about dead animals inside that dairy, probably the reason Monty hates milk? Plenty of Typhoons, war ships and missiles, but not a local dairy? Talking about priorities, don't you think?
ten green argies sitting on the wall,
you forgot the Bribe Branch to write..
who are competents on soldiers not only on civilians !
Wikipedia tells them ??
i remembered abruptly that...
in 2008 ,1 billion US $ bonus to the Libya government to parts
of 30 years drilling rights by way of Petro Canada...
John Richards a quasi consultant at British Virgin Islands,
close friends of Qaddafi...as their local agent to any dealings who
ralated to British Royal estates......etc .. etc....
does not argentina have a secret services
almost every country has one/more secret services ,in the world !!
and the yanks have the big two i belive.
the FBI and the CIA, and i belive latly the Homland security,
i belive the FBI is internal, the CIA is external,
but i could be wrong .
but one things for sure, whearever you go, some one will be watching you ???????
I can't believe you've been here all this time and you still don't know how this works:
FIG don't buy Typhoons, warships or missiles. The UK government pays for our defence.
The UK government doesn't pay for anything else. The dairy closed because it wasn't economically viable. FIG subsidised it for a while, but it still cost too much, because people didn't want to buy enough of the product. I guess we just like our Chilean milk.
I don't think is so much about the high quality of the Chilean milk is more about lazy people that doesn't want their hands to get dirty milking cows or/and the locals didn't want to drink milk from a dairy with dead animals in it...
www.falklandnews.com/public/story.cfm?get=5301&source=3
Do you milk cows yourself then? Good for you.
I'd be disappointed to hear you were too lazy and didn't want to get your hands dirty.
