Welsh guards returning to the Falklands, terribly sad how it affected these poor lads. A war that lasted weeks stayed with them for a lifetime. I wish them well and thank you.

Ah the Malvinas...how old was the average fatality in that conflict?
|
|
By:
It's the Falklands sofiakenny

As for your second question sadly most of those who gave their lives would of been in their twenties, that's Ho it works most armies in the world find young fit men make the best soliders

Be good to get kennybhoys take on this given his normal lack of facts when debating.
Dan peep like Kenny think it's great to call them the Malvinas. My bet is he knows nowt about them except for that. |

By:
Can't understand how people who live in this country seem to hate it
|
|
By:
Neither can I dan. they always seem to be looking for an excuse to have a go.
They also forget that Argentina were the aggressors in this conflict. |

By:
shirley do you not mean the malvinas - I am politically correct to a T ho ho
|
|
By:
No dan people love their country , what they hate is the imposters running it
|
|
By:
just think we could just hand them over to the argies just like that
and no more trouble in fact I think we should start this process at home hand it all over to the eu and herr merkel can run the place along with our friends from Bradford and east london problem solved you heard it here first |
|
By:
If that's the case anxious why were so many people in this country on the side of Argentina in this conflict?
|
|
By:
Aka i can remember the Falklands and i dont think there was many people who were on Argentinas side , no nobody wanted any of our armed forces to lose their life in the conflict, surely more to the point was it not true that the British goverments both Labour/Tory in the years before were willing and encouraged Argentina to claim the Falklands
|
|
By:
It could have been avoided. The politics were wrong and showed us as hesitant.
The year before we sent out stuff when they were sabre rattling but the next year there was only the supply ship around No one seems to ever relate to this - why is it never allowed out in the media>?? |
|
By:
sure Thatcher cut naval budget prior to invasion
|
|
By:
Average age of Argentinian fatalities 17..British fatalities 21...Brave young men brutally exploited by their
power crazed leaders... |
|
By:
Plenty on here side with Argentina.
As regards the conflict then that was inevitable one the argies invaded. |
|
By:
sorry chaps
it goes far deeper than that talk about taking your eye off the ball doesn't even cover it at the time we slammed it but it was all 'GOTCHA' and all that and too late and irrelevant to point it out as by then you would be labelled as a traitor |
|
By:
it was a total **** up
and then we sent out a totally insufficient force when I joined we had 8 carriers just look at what we had ready at the falklands stuff was destined for reserve or scrapyard etc |
|
By:
Different argument though moisok.
|
|
By:
you only have to the 'wise after the event ' right now on Sky they are so fkn clever now with all the evidence of how bad muslim radicals are but it IS ALL TOO LATE - I really cannot stomach the tv news media who are so wise after the event but have rubbished any criticism of islam, muslims, the culture etc etc
|
|
By:
no it is not sorry aka
it is all part of the denial of ANY responsibility I was around then and way before I am very old ho ho!!! |
|
By:
We all know how Thatcher passed away... unfortunately her condition was undiagnosed while she was in power..
|
|
By:
watch sky right now attacking the services when it is the politicoes who led us to this(islam aggression)
same with thatchers incompetence and subsequent result(falklands)) |

John Selwyn Gummer with his daughter and the beefburgers
|
|
By:
I remember that anxious. What a tw4t he was. What age was his daughter?
|
|
By:
About 12 i think aka , dreadful scene it was
|
|
By:
i beg your pardon 4 years old she was with that beefburger
|
|
By:
I think she pushed most of it away , so Gummer had to gorge most of it himself
|
|
By:
Was incredibly stupid.
4 years old, wonder how much she knew of the dangers. Nowt would be my guess. |
|
By:
His son is a bit of a tw4t too and unfortuantely one of the options on my ballot paper. I think he may have taken his constituency for granted. There's a lot of Labour billboards around here - way more than the number for Benedict Gummer (he shortens it to 'Ben' to be cool with the kids!). I know boards in gardens aren't the greatest indicator, but I seem to remember seeing a lot more board for Leave than Remain last year, so I tend to believe what I see, rather than what I hear.

Life ?

The Argentinians as they like to call themselves are not even entitled to live in Argentina as they like to call their country.Rateros. Land stolen from others.Not many black Argentinians for a former slave colony.Wonder what happened to them.Black lives matter and so do Amerindians.

By:
LOL, no, just generally tired and pretty depressed by what little choice we really ever have at a GE. I'm fed-up with the f****** lot of them!
