Agree 100%. About the Malvinas/Falklands sovereignty I prefer not give my opinion, because I don't want to start a fight. The only thing I have to say is that the people need to read more and talk less about the history of the islands and the conflict. On both sides.
Sorry for my poor english. Greatings from Rosario
The Argentinian conscripts didn't stand a chance against the professional fighting force that was, and is, the British Army.

They didn't but they did have a lot of special forces on the island and outnumbered us by 3-1 in most of the battles

Phil Meup said:I'm offended!Sigh said:It's pidgin English. Origin uncertain, first encountered amongst the Chinese diaspora, especially in Singapore and the rest of the Malaya peninsula Borneo etc as a go-between language between the non-Mandarin Chinese (whether native Cantonese speakers or not), British, Dutch and Portuguese (the business and civil servant classes of the latter two usually speaking English as a second language) especially used in the merchant trade all the way from Rangoon through the S. China Sea, and up through the Bohai.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with birds.
I apologize if this post causes offence.
