Nov 02nd, 2012 - 11:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0You know full well the reason !
They would love to live in peace and security but YOUR Argi. chums will not let them.
They are remembering a debt of gratitude for those who were killed while serving their country.
If you were a UK citizen then you would not need an explanation.
#1. Its not. The defence deterrent is only proportionate to the threat from Argentina. Puricelli said recently the only reason that Argentina did not own the Falklands was because of the British military deterrent. Thats why they are here, to protect fundamental human rights.
Nov 02nd, 2012 - 11:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0@1 - What the hell does this article have to do with militarization? Nothign at all!
Nov 02nd, 2012 - 12:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In fact its about the Type 21 association raising funds so they can remember those in the armed forces that have died in war (on both sides) and in peace time. The Falklands war is close to the association members hearts since they lost 2 type 21's and many of their colleagues that were serving on those ships. So they have every right to be in the falklands to remember them and lay a wreath for them.
But hey, there is always one narrowminded arsehole that wants to turn an article that merely mentions the falklands into a Brit/Islander V Argentina slagging off match isn't there “Arsehole”!

Nov 02nd, 2012 - 12:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They are remembering and honouring the dead, those that fell in battle. And as my friend Teaboy2 says at 5, they remember and honour the dead of BOTH SIDES!!! Now, does Argentina do the same?
Do you remember and honour those who lost their lives in the Falklands? Or are you going to keep relying on the Islanders to do your remembering for you?
And because you don't remember BK you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

You would not know the truth about the Brits, if the truth jumped up and bit you in the arse. Your opinion is bitter, twisted and biased by the disappointment of something you can not have, vis a vis, the Falklands. Aggrevated by a humiliating military defeat at the hands of a numericaly inferior force of a superior military, when you resorted to force to obtain what you could not have.
Nov 02nd, 2012 - 05:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So excuse me if us Brits could not give a flying fergie about your opinion of us.
Oh and warmonkey, is ever so ever so right.
BK : It's militarised down there because every now and then the argie army likes to try to invade the Falkland Islands .
Nov 02nd, 2012 - 07:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0British soldiers have to be on hand to take their surrender , feed them ( their own officers don't you see ? ) and then send them back to the mainland on a 5 star cruise liner .
And all that lovely new kit to capture as well. Save yourself the hassle, just arrange to have it delivered to UK MOD direct. Much more efficient.

Nov 02nd, 2012 - 08:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My grandfather enlisted on the 31st of December, 1914.
On the 31st of December, 2014 I plan on going out and getting fally down drunk and every pint I sink, will be in memory of him and all of those, who fought with him, those who came home, like he did but especially those who did not.
@27 my grandad enlisted 1918 RN aged 15, got sunk three times in WW2 and lived till he was 92, my dad did 32 years in RN, My brother did 19 yrs RN, I joined RN in 77 left in 2005, my son joined RN in 2002 Helo maintainer on Merlins and doing well and my nephew has just left after ten years, you may say a real Naval family. I have all our medals mounted with pride of place on our wall at home, and all our service docs (save those still serving), makes some interesting reading I can tell you. We always get together for anniversarys ie my Dad and Grandads passing and have a right good knees up, because that's the way they'd have wanted it. That's why I have no respect for arseholes who don't appreciate or respect what our fathers and forefathers did for us, and the lads who are still doing it today

Then three of us in Police Force, all retired now, lost the baby booty 4 years ago cancer, miss him like I can not describe.
Those of us who have served share a bond, a bond with those very, very fine lads and girls who as you said, are doing a a fantasicly difficult today. Bless them all and bring them all safe home to their loved ones.
@30 must be something going on my Dad joined Hampshire police in criminal records dept on leaving Navy up till he retired and my brother works for Hampshire Police as we speak. “Bless them all and bring them all safe home to their loved ones”. Never a truer word spoken. Those of us who served down South have never held a grudge or bad feelings against the rg pilots that bombed us, they were doing thier job as where we, that's what numpties like sussie will NEVER understand, hence they have no respect and are not worth wasting a stand easy over
Nov 02nd, 2012 - 09:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I served with Marine David COOMBES Mid. He seved as Captains steward aboard HMS ENDURANCE. On South Georgia, he put two 84MM rocket into the hull of an Argentinian Corvette and disabled the 100mm gun shelling them, earning his Mid. He was known throughout my old Division as “Yomper.”
Nov 02nd, 2012 - 10:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Did he tell me that? no he did not. I found it out myself through the net.
In 1991, he was sent to a domestic in a rural Norlolk village. He knocked on the door, the bastard that opened it stabbed him with boning knife. In those days we had no body armour, we wore black, nylon jackets, by some miracle the knife rode up the jacket, entered under the top of his right arm and went right through. The bastard got off with attempted murder and served 9 years for wounding.
The point of this story, he went through all that on South Georgia and nearly lost is life in a sleepy rural Norfolk village.
Must have been one hell of a Marine, cos he was one hell of a copper. Retired now, like me.
@32 respect, funny how veterans never tell you thier horror stories except in certain moments, I know loads of lads who still won't speak about it now, it's something personal and in the back of thier subconsious, now and again it will come out, usually after beer.

Or the English are the greatest benefactors of humanity or are the biggest hypocrites humanity using transplanted immigrants themselves as a justification for perpetrating their occupation and interest in the Argentine Sea and Antarctic.
Obviously I prefer the second possibility: the biggest hypocrites of humanity.

Nov 02nd, 2012 - 10:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Getting back to the story though. I for one think it is very appropriate that a type 21 visiting this time of year. I remember as do we all seeing those pictures of the ships in San Carlos Bay. Taking everything the ARA threw at them. I remember thinking they were sitting ducks, no room to manouvre. I think it was the price they had to pay to provide aircover for the landings.
Question, had they been able to manouvre in open seas, would they have suffered as much?
@35 ignoring the ignorant twat that is JM, No the air cover would have been a lot closer and the 42's/ 22's would have picked off thier airforce in open sea the land provided to many blind spots and interference for Radar as well as cover for them, if it was in open sea it would have been a turkey shoot, maybe we should have waited and let them attack us at sea till they were to weak to really threaten the landings, the carriers were out of thier range and thier Navy ran off, I think, IMO, combat air patrols to take out thier airforce was the way ahead, but that would have taken months. We would have still lost or had ships damaged to Exocet no doubt but not as many, as it happens they only had a few left (hindsight is a wonderful thing) But heyho we do as we're told, but major lessons were learnt and it would defo be a turkey shoot this time

Nov 03rd, 2012 - 05:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0oh dear, You are forgetting how many of your ships / patrol craft / aircraft were sunk by the type 21's.
Each and every one of them served with distinction and left a record second to none. The members of the Association and especially the men who served on the Type 21's should be rightly proud of their service aboard these ships. they did themselves and the country proud.
I believe ( and someone PLEASE correct me if I am wrong ) HMS Avenger actually shot down an exocet during a failed air raid on the task force and then, having lost 4 skyhawks in that attack, the Argentines claimed they had damaged HMS Invincible ( LOL )
And you are forgetting that HMS Arrow provided gunfire support for the attack on Goose Green......... Now, as an Argentine, why would you forget / ignore these facts???
how many times do we have to remind you, [are they deaf]
Nov 03rd, 2012 - 07:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0repeat please , repeat please lol.
@42 no exocets were shot down during the Falklands war although all failed to explode on impact except the one that hit Glamorgan, (land based (by the way Glamorgan's captain was stupid trying to cut a corner of a known exocet silo to get to a resupply ship)), this was mostly thought to be through bad programming or bad maintainence of the missles, contrary to believe the French refused to provide rgenweener with any upgraded missiles although they did try to buy some from Peru (who said fook off this is your war). However tooldtodieyoung the NGS from mainly the type 21's, 12's and county class destoyers made the rgs shite themselves. A. because of they're accuracy (curtesy of the spotters from SAS, SBS etc and B. rate of rounds they could put down. We fired thousands of rounds of HE and resuppled nearly everynight. Ref the sinking of the Invincible what a crock of shit, there was no way anything rgenweener could offer would get anywhere near her, can't believe some idiots still say that they sunk her even after watching her triumpant return to Pompey weeks later

To explain this to an Argentinian, like you. These are items made of glazed pottery to enable human waste to be collected and disposed of hygienically. I realise that this is a difficult concept to understand as the last mass influx of your countrymen just shat anywhere they fancied - in kitchens, bedrooms , halls etc.
I presume this film was made by the Dr. Goebbels film foundation.
Not as good as Tom and Jerry, amusing in parts but rather repetitive.
I don't think it will make it into the top 100 films world wide, but it keeps you impotent Argies happy so no harm done.

You can also threat that your tough, brave soldiers will beat our soldiers, bla, bla, bla, but the reality is that if they try again it will fail. We will carry on as normal and you will continue yet again posting pipe dreams about how “shitty” we all are and how divine, clean and pure your country is, which anyone will tell you is so very far from reality.

Now to the point of the matter:
Your so-called ‘military’ are nothing but a bunch of wankers (as the stills provided by you confirm) and have NEVER, and will NEVER, understand the concept of HONOUR. And that is the problem for all Malvanistas and a good deal of the civilians as well.
There must be some good Argentineans (Simon68 being a good example among with a few others) who see the reality of the situation and what is coming to you all except TMBOA and her gang of thugs.
So carry on weeping into your mate argie, while you have it to drink. Before long, you and your ilk will have fack ull, and I will well and truly celebrate that day.
Now just to make it clear to you stupid argies: FACK ORFF.

You need to bone up on history.
English people did go down to the South Atlantic in 1982 joined by Scottish Troops (BIG CLUE=Scots Guards), Welsh troops (BIG CLUE=Welsh Guards), Nepalese troops (BIG CLUE=the Ghurkas), and there were several other nationalities that sent your pirates packing back to where they belong.
Your french mercenaries were sensible enough to leave Pebble Island before the SAS gave you a lesson in how to conduct a succesful commando raid, but your American mates were finished off by the Paras.
You actually miss the point that your cowardly forces invaded and bullied a population of no more than 2000, with a huge numerical superiority, laid unmarked mines like the amateurs you are, shit in people's beds when most civilised people use toilets, boobytrapped schools and falsely painted red crosses on buildings housing ammunition. Not to mention your failed use of napalm.
It is your country that has a backward, 18th century, fascist mentality (inherited from the Nazi criminals you invited with open arms after WW2 )as you are unable to move into the future with your asses stuck 200 years in the past, where they will stay forever.
