Are we are also to believe Argentine bleating that these same “Officers” would have respected the rights of the Islanders in the long term?

No, the islanders would have “disappeared” once the world spotlight was removed. They had professional killers there to put in place such a scheme. Look up the career of Alfredo Ignacio Astiz and draw your own conclusions.

PEOPLE, i am very proud that all this criminals are judged by our justice, in spite of all this year, the malvinas war is some thing very dificult to assimilate for all of us, it's very present in our lives, i was a baby in that time, but y studyed it very much at school, and in my carear, i met people, eaven i studyed with men who fought in the islands, and i must say that i'm proud as argentine that all this genocides are going to be judged and surelly sentenced, like all those who are being judged for torturing and making desapared more than 30000 people.

perhaps if the Argentine Officer Corp had a bit more compassion for their men then perhaps they would have fought harder than was described. They must have been very arrogant to have carried out these inhumane acts and not have cared for their men as in the armed forces of other countries . As a Falklands vet I commiserate with them
