I think Mr Katz should propose a vote of thanks to the British Army for extricating him from his predicament and a vote of appreciation to the British Army for treating Argentine soldiers better than their own officers did.

Good for the Malvinas Islands ex Combatants Center for pursuing this horrendous case of human rights violations on the part of Argentine officers.

It's pay time for those officers who, lacking courage to fight the enemy, unleashed their prejudices and inferiority complexes on the very men they commanded.

Of course, the mistreatment showed how the army had become (with a few honourable exceptions) more of a paramilitary group in charge of kidnapping, torturing and executing unarmed civils than a real military force.
