  The events of 1982 are most unfortunate and all those lives lost need to be remembered and the bravery of the participants acknowledged.
  The most important lesson to be learn must be to avoid the use of military force to distract from problems at home. It never turns out well.
  I hope Argentina overcomes it's internal problelms and it's people all live a peaceful prosperous life.
  But don't think a military option will take over the Falkland Islands.

  I agree with your sentiments. War is evil but sometimes necessary.
  
  I fought against the 5th Marines, and in the main, they put up a good show.

  MalvinasArgentinas H&G rights

  I understand your sentiments, and respect them. La Gesta de Malvinas was necessary, not as an act of war, but as a recovery act of Argentinian territory: that was the intended aim. By recovering the Malvinas, Argentina interrupted 150 years of continued illegal occupation, and in doing so, it void possible legal effects.
  I too grieve the loss of lifes, specially the young conscript soldiers killed by the criminal of war Thatcher that ordered the destruction of the ARA Belgrano, which was outside the war zone designated by the UK. History will judge her.
  I concur with you, Andy, as I too think that these issues must be resolved by diplomacy. Unfortunately, the UK had ignored diplomacy since the XIX century, and left no other option.
  Thank you for wishing our nation prosperity; you are so right in avoid been distracted from problems at your homeland, I wish you can resolve the current unrest the UK is suffering.
  Best regards.
