    That is correct, this is a great achievement and it should have taken place a long time ago. The dead kids should not be used in death as they were abused in life. The remains shouldn't be used politically as Argentina is doing now to its eternal shame. If it continues, the Islanders should have a right to ask for all the remains to be taken to Argentina.
    In their short lives the kids were sent to support a Dictator while they were singing their indoctrinated song about freedom, freedom, and broken chains. Some of the Argentine military fighting on the Falklands, who were going to rule the Islanders, were the same ones who had been throwing their own countrymen to their deaths from their planes, after taking their babies, and then there was the corruption and the 100% inflation, sovereignty was the last thing on Galtieri's mind in 1982, and a “victorious” Dictator would have been a catastrophe for Argentina, more crimes, a war with Chile for islands which weren't Argentine either.
    Now the dead kids should be allowed to rest in peace or sent back home.
    One day Argentina will tell the truth, that the Crown in defeating their Dictator not only saved the Islanders but also Argentina. In 1982 Argentina was up to terrible things which its people need to come to terms with.
    Argentines are very confused and we must be careful not to confuse them even further, they are distorting all this in their schools as they try to twist the living history of Argentina.
