As long as the argies can be deterred from poaching in FI waters everything will be alright.

Bigger patrol vessels with 50 cal BMG machine guns will see them off, cowards that they are.

They have pants now?

Wow! They are coming on in leaps and bounds! Maybe La Campora will start walking upright next?

It wasn't too long ago that they didn't have shirts...
(descamisado, (Spanish: “shirtless one”), in Argentine history, during the regime of Juan Perón (ruled 1946–55, 1973–74), any of the impoverished and underprivileged Argentine workers who were Perón’s chief supporters. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/158778/descamisado)

Imagine, in another 50 years they might even have a full set of clothes!
