They also lie about the history of the Islands or conveniently airbrush the British presence out.
One lie they constantly state is the fact that Britain usurped the Islands in 1833, forcibly removing the Argentinian settlers.
* This claim disregards the standing British claims to the Islands, the fact that the settlers were on the Islands with British permission.
* That Britain had warned the United Provinces (no Argentina at that time) after they had announced they were sending a garrison in 1832 (the second warning to stay away in 3 years).
*The fact that the garrison only landed late October 1832 before the British sent a frigate to evict them on 1st Jan 1833.
* Only the garrison was removed, the settlers were persuaded to stay (only 4 left, they chose to leave).
* In the 2 months the garrison was there, the men revolted and murdered the officer in charge (the mutiny was put down with the help of French and British merchant seamen).
* There was no violence.

It is rather over simplified, misses out quite a bit but gives an idea into the history.
Towards the end it mentions the vote where it states 3 voted to become Argentinian, this was not true, the vote was to remain British or not, the 3 not votes could be for independence from both Countries.

I remember this conflict and the pride I felt seeing our brave servicemen going out there to fight for the freedom of British people who love us and proud to part of us.
I recoiled when the lefty filth criticised OUR troops and felt pity for the Argies.
We really are warped and do not appreciate the freedom of expression we have.
There was every need for it. Sometimes,you just have to be positive and protect British people. This of course will go against the grain for Irish rebel fans Ireland -neutral- Innit ,apart when it comes to the Brits.
If Thatcher had talked and waited, as you say, the Falklands would now be Malvina's, the people who live there would have been relocated off the islands or murdered.
Like anywhere in life, you have to stand up to bullies, not doing so would mean they take advantage.
I would guess you think that Hitler should have been allowed to do as he wanted and not care.
I will say, it should never have happened, Thatcher made all the signs before they invaded that Britain would not react.

It's nothing personal, it's just what happened. Why do so many take these things personally.The study of military actions is a perfectly legitimate activity , and anyone can do it with a little research in their local library.
The British army performed poorly in Iraq and Afghanistan. that's just how it was.If it offends anyone's nationalist feelings then that's too bad and it won't change what happened

You can feel pity for those conscripted young men, but fully support our forces at war. Better for no one to die of course, but having lost friends in Iraq, you have to support our people. It’s not a left thing- it’s a ‘right on’ form of the left.

The SAS were sent to bomb the Argie air base where the fighter planes were coming out of and were "compromised" (they just wanted the Argies to know they were there) they then tabbed into Chile
That is when the Argies knew we were there to win and not feck about.....Mind games ðŸ‘

When an enemy is looking to kill you,it matters not whether he was conscripted or not.No compensation to one's family either. An enemy soldier is just that.
You are correct the Argentina government should not have sent their armed forces to invade a the sovereign territory. When will dictatorships learn to obey international law. Perhaps they should have talked first.
Having declared war, by invading, the Argentina government could only expect a robust response.
It was good to democracy overcome the actions of a military junta.
Nothing personal but the use of the word embarrassed isn't one that reflected the time or attitudes. Perhaps its just you. Any way my apologies to the OP for going off topic.
