Disclaimer & comment rulesThe Falklanders are a precious part of the worldwide British Family and will be protected by the 'Mother Country' to metaphorically the last drop of our blood.
Jun 04th, 2012 - 09:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0We did not lose a million troops in the first world war and 300,000 casualties in the second on behalf of 'British' countries (and now in Afghanistan .)We paid blood sacrifices for our friends and allies or because we gave our word.
If you want to see the 'British Spirit' just look at the last few minutes of the Thames Water Pageant with the singers still singing away in the pouring rain.Only the British !
Britain became the most powerful country in the world not because it was the biggest (at its peak France had 4 times the land area and 4 times the population;likewise Spain) but because of the spirit of the people.
Argentina doesn't stand a snowflake in hells chance of succeeding in its dispute with Britain and the Falklanders. It is about time it understood that !
The Islanders liberty was bought with the most precious thing we have, the lives of 255 of our youngest and bravest men, no amount of treasure will ever compare to that. Each one of them was irreplaceable, to their families, loved ones and too each and very one of us. That is why we will never ever, ever give away the liberty of the Isalnders, our people, because that is what they are, to anyone, least of all Argentina.
Jun 04th, 2012 - 09:38 am - Link - Report abuse 014th June will be a day to commemorate victory, but also to remember the dead, the wounded and the bereaved, with respect and acknowledgement. Let us spare a thought also for the Argentine victims, both in the Falklands and in Argentina, of the Argentine government of the time.

Jun 04th, 2012 - 10:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0Respect to all killed, wounded, and all who suffered, on both sides of the argument. It's a shame that people had to suffer for such a stupid reason. The islands are at peace, let's leave it that way.
Jun 04th, 2012 - 10:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0An important act of remembrance and recognition of the contribution to liberation by British forces, and of all who suffered. With modern technology, could be important at this juncture of world events to make these acts in Stanley available world-wide by internet.

Jun 04th, 2012 - 07:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0According to unofficial reports,
CFK was reputed to be saying,
That she has been humiliated by the British at her every turn,
And reported to have remarked,
Oh why oh why, was I not born British, like all the other greats on this planet,
Greeted by silence.
mmmmmmm
God bless those who are gone and the families left behind.
Jun 04th, 2012 - 08:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0IIslas - still not explained your surrender. If the islands were part of Argentina then why surrender? We did not surrender to Nazi Germany when they wanted to invade the UK.
Jun 04th, 2012 - 11:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is discipline in a soldier
Jun 05th, 2012 - 01:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0you can see it when he walks
There is honour in a soldier
You can hear it when he talks
There is courage in a soldier
You can see it in his eyes
There is loyalty in a soldier
That he will not compromise
There is something in a soldier
That makes him stand apart
There is strength in a soldier
That beats from his heart
Next time you see a soldier
Remember what he does
A soldier is the reason
Our land is safe and free
If you are a soldier
I am saying this to you
Thank God FOR EVERY SOLDIER
Thank God for what YOU DO-
God bless to all families who lost a loved one
in the Falkland Islands.
And the royal Navy, the RAF and auxilery personel .
