Men who were willing to lay down their lives to counter the brutal and murderous Argentine military regime that was supported by too many Argentine people.
Then a few drinks more (I hope) so the Falklanders can celebrate their continued freedom from Argentine aggression, lies and brutality.
Oh and for our Argentine trolls this is how it's done. You COMMEMORATE the ending of conflict you don't CELEBRATE the start of it.
Perhaps one day you'll grow up and realise that but I won't hold my breath.
