In hear from my Iraq Veteran friends that the SAS did not fare well in the Iraqi desert ops in Desert Storm. In fact, most of them were taken out.

I see that jorge, despite this season of goodwill, is still his usual bigoted, immature, racist self. jorge really does have issues with low self-esteem. I pity you, son.

Actually we are no longer in Iraq Jorge, you should read the news sometime. It's 2009 now, not 1833...

Exocet and Jorge.

You were beat by a foreign force, not used to the terrain and climate in your own back yard. You two are obviously very embarrassed by this. It just goes to show how superior the British army is.

Happy New Year!

I'm very proud of my forces (it was not a walking around for you to have come here in 1982) and my country in general because my goverment is of our chosing. It is not spain who sends here a governor. If the goverment is corrupted, it is our own justice what will take actions and not spain. The good governance is an internal matter in every country wich believes itself as a self-governing terretorie. If spain had any say in our internal matters, we would be a colony like you always were/are today.

Happy new year!!!

Says it all really, you're proud of the military that subjected Argentina to years of military rule, 30000 “disappeared” and which treated its own conscripts worse than cattle.

No, you ignorant. What a bunch of criminal did has nothing to do with the institucion. I wouldn't say the british are all killers just because Tatcher was one.

Jorge,

Bunch of criminals whose actions caused the death of nearly 1000 young men, and whose actions you have regularly and disgustingly lauded. You are an utter hypocrite.

Oh, that's nice Jorge. You are proud of the institution which caused 30000 people to “disappear”, some of them pushed out of the back of aircraft into the sea. I remember the lechero on our street refusing to deliver milk to a house where the former owner had “disappeared” because he was so shit-scared he would disappear too. You obviously never experienced that sort of FEAR Jorge, or perhaps you were one of those who was helping to “disappear” people????

There's no point trying the Thatcher (not Tatcher) red herring. Your unelected dictators had far more blood on their hands...
