Sean Penn: The "Malvinas"

Um, told the total truth... but you guys are masters of spin.
Fact. - the UK negotiated with Argentina.
Fact- They beat up on a smaller and weaker country over nothing worth a single life.
Fact- They continue to justify their stupidity, 30 years later.
Other than that, the rest is chest beating filler by people who never wore uniforms.

Well, so you say...
I mean, everyone can be SAS or a Green Beret on a message board, can't they?

Thanks for proving me right...yet again.
Not really, guy.
Frankly, I've seen a lot of fakes get on here and tell me they were all sorts of brave military, and then couldn't tell me what their MOS was when I asked them.
Because they had no idea what an MOS was.
I suspect there are a lot of Falklands vets who tell themselves that it was a noble cause.
I'm sure there are lot of guys who fought in El Salvador's Soccer War, or any of the other silly wars fought that they were fighting for a noble cause.
It's why we keep fighting wars... which by the way, is ALWAYS a bad thing.

Lie #1.
Before the 1982 War, the UK was talking about outright giving the Falklands (or the Malvinas) to Argentina.
Actually, Argentina has as good a claim to those Islands as the UK has.
Half-truth #2
Come on, they are having to cut back on social programs back home, with the accompanying riots,
Lie / half-truth #3.
Ummm. no, I just pointed out cold hard facts.
Lie #4.
If the Falklands War was fought today, the UK would lose. They don't have the military capability.
Hilarious observation.
Of course, the only question is, how do the Brits give back the Malvinas (something the entire world thinks they SHOULD do)
Lie #5.
Here's the thing. They spent a billion dollars on the Falklands war. That was enough to pay each and every Falklander a million dollars to go move somewhere nice. Today, the UK is fucking broke. they don't have the money or the will to fight another war.
For Argentina, this is a matter of nationalism.
Lie / half-truth #6.
And that's just the first four pages.
I'll leave it at that because everyone gets the picture, and I've grown bored of this.

I'll save you the trouble of asking: PMOS (and DMOS) 1542 (old system). You should know what that is. I left off the SQI prefix; see if you can guess which one.
BTW Colin (if I recall correctly), served in the British Army. The Parachute Regiment, Colin?

What they are saying is, "We are soooo insecure we can't admit we fucked up."
That's all I'm hearing.
Just like you can't admit you scumbag lowlife shitheels on Wall Street weren't the least responsible for the 2008 crash.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Deflection, as to be expected when the leftist JoeAmpad gets pwnd in a thread.
Yawn... no one owned me here..
I'm still waiting for one Thatcher apologist who can tell me a good reason why 900 people had to die for fucking sheep.
Man up, take responsiblity. This was a rich country beating up on a small one over a nothing issue.
Nobody would have died if Argentina hadn't invaded. But you are too prejudiced and/or stupid to recognize that simple fact.

Correct, Gadfly. 3rd Battalion.

No one would have died if Britian had returned the Islands in 1965 when Argentina first asked for them.
But, hey, the important thing is the UK kept her sheep...
Like little Bo Peep.

Pretty pathetic.

Ummm, yes, it is.
A great country bankrupting itself defending islands that are of no value to them... is kind of sad, really.

Lie.
Lying to support your claims is sad, really.
Stalking me like a rejected girlfriend is kind of sad, Tojo...

Argentina did indeed bankrupt itself, several times over.

and so is the UK... that's the point....
The thing is, Argentina could really get use out of the Malvinas. the UK can't, they are too remote to exploit or develop.

Again you are factually challenged.
The UK is not bankrupt and is in stellar economic shape compared to Argentina.
And the UK has a lot more expertise with these kinds of Islands than Argentina does. Who has more offshore expertise you think?
Probably you are also geographically challenged and don't realize how far from Argentina the Falklands really are.
