May 31st, 2010 - 02:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0An important message for David Cameron. Even if you only go back to the 16th century and the Navy Royal, this service has served Britain loyally and incredibly for at least 500 years. 28 years ago we found out we needed them just as much now. Even so, your predecessors insisted of reducing its capability. Give our country and our Navy back our pride. If you don't, it might take as much as 4 months to defeat some hypothetical South American belligerent.

Your army suffers a crushing defeat and gets kicked back to argentina

@jorge! Won't happen again. Next time the Tomahawks will fly. And you don't have anything to match a Typhoon.
Jun 02nd, 2010 - 08:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just as a matter of interest, are gdr, NicoDin and you the only yatterheads left?
7jorge#... Right! The british navy are stupid. They should have done like Argentinian navy. After “Santa Fe” and “Belgrano” the rest of your navy suddenly was invisible (hidden far away from battle zone!)
Jun 02nd, 2010 - 08:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0which meant almost no more losses. Very clever done or...
And by the way, the british dont know the meaning of “fair game”.
Three times Argentinian press/television/news reported a british carrier (Hermes or Invincible) severely damaged and sunk. Glorious victory!!
however the british crew did not take notice! Though they were finished (3 times!), they continued the game.Fair game??
Jorge if your nation want to colonialise ,better be sure you have a very strong navy/armada.
Just ask the british , the have experience, and you can also ask Portugal and Spain, they too have experience, in particular according to colonisation in the western hemisphere.
Colonisation in the XXI century??? Pathetic....
Tell you what, jorge! I live quite close to Aldershot. You know, the home of the British Army, like the Parachute Regiment. Also not far from Church Crookham, UK base for the Gurkhas. I also have your email address. How about I pop over and tell the lads how you like to disrespect British forces? You remember the Paras, jorge! The guys who kicked your arses. And you must remember the Gurkhas, the guys your little boys ran away rather than face. And do you remember how many times your pitiful lot “sank” our aircraft carriers? Still floating, jorge!
Jun 03rd, 2010 - 05:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0yeah right, those guys you talk about were paid foreigners combatants, it's better when you don't use your own people, isn't it?
Jun 03rd, 2010 - 08:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are lame, we defended what's our with our own people after the bad decision of going to war. Obious defeat with several guests like USA & CHILE among others...NICE! a world power allied with other powers to fight against a great nation like Argentina allied with small countries. In the end, ARGENTINE COURAGE prevailed.
You are just a brain-dead zombie. Don't post here again. If this is the standard of your contribution, you should be committed to an asylum. But I have a better idea. Stick yourself in the front line of your next invasion. Get your brains stirred with a bayonet. Lose the top of your skull, or your head, to a kukri. Argentine courage? Nearly 12,000 POWs too scared to fight. Every one a coward. Argentines talk big, but that's all. NO GUTS. Except the stuff we left on the landscape. Bird food.

Jun 03rd, 2010 - 09:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Argentinian courage” . Somehow i like you, because i like people with sense of humour.
Your air force did their very best, and the paid dearly, and deserve respect. The other parts of your army forces better hope their “efforts”
very soon will be forgotten.
They had one advantage. They were able to run faster than the British
forces... Unfortunately most of them ran backwards (away from battle zone)!!
Remember juanweather! It is well documented (pictures/movies/eyewitnesses) on the www what happened in Falkland Islands.
What comes next?? Conquest of the desert was a “Glorious Victory”?
yes, they did their best. But some, specially the kids, weren't prepared to fight and ran for food or survival...(remember never had resources to survive, and much less to fight). Still admirable, it hurts to know that this should never have passed

@14 Juanweather. Were you alive at the time?
Jun 04th, 2010 - 01:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The story of why the Argentine conscripts in the hills west of Stanley were starving is a disgrace that Argentina should be ashamed of.
Jun 04th, 2010 - 02:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There was no shortage of provisions - the military leadership was entirely to blame and it was not just incompetence that caused it. It is utterly baffling why it happened.
