bullshit friends we own it and they used aggression, if we did that to another country there would be world wide outcry! they deservede the battering they got, we were 8000 miles away and we still murdered them haha
as possible to the islands, still be in their hands, we are in the twentieth century gentlemen, it is time to return to Argentina what was invaded in 1830, perhaps not the justice for the world along with USA? set an example for a peaceful world and young people who died giving his life for her beloved homeland, young people who could not use a gun and made lions
1) We are not in the 20th century, we are in the 21st (not sure where you have been for the last 10 years).
2) You are seeing this only from your point of view. "Young people" didn't just come from Argentina to this conflict, the UK also lost "young people" dispelling what was nothing short of an aggressive invasion. It is through their blood that I feel the UK has just as much a claim as Argentina will ever have. Consequently, do not expect us to just 'give them away'.
@rogan71, the only reason I approved his comment was to make a public example of him and so that others would have a chance to rip into him.
I'm glad you've quite likely seen the purpose of this video and why I edited/uploaded it in the first place; to serve as a memorial to the fallen on both sides.
@kepuysac, yes, 255 who died in the hostilities. I presume unlike you we actually take great care to accurately account for our dead.
I suggest you take your unecessary and quite frankly crass insinuations elsewhere, and be thankful we indirectly freed a nation from a very troubled Junta, who really did make a significant number of people mysteriously dissapear out the back of a C-130 in the middle of the night.
Then again, maybe you are of the sort who finds this practice acceptable.
The war was between fucking maggie and fucking galtieri. those fucking bullshit were the only responsible of this. the war was between goverments and not between people. a war between bullshits. that was all. no matter other arguments that was the war.
How many people here have been to the Falkland Islands??Just to let you know, I have....spent 4 months there in 1990/1991, great time had, and I would have killed any enemy had there triedto re invade again. Action not words...we won thats all I have to say!!!
Shame were gonna lose it now without firing a shot. Since we sent oil rigs down they want to take it from us again. We have a large fantastic modern navy doing fuck all but film pirates in the gulf of aiden. Send them down to the Falklands with one simple order. Protect our islands with all the force at your disposal. We fought worse for less. Let alone oil in our own lands
The Falklands are defended sufficiently so there's no need to worry. It's now a military base and we have stationed Eurofighters, 1000 troops, Air defence systems etc there. It may not sound like allot although the Government takes into account the strength of the enemy when deciding on how heavily to protect it. This is for cost effieciency reasons and the Argies don't have allot to threaten us at the moment. The only risk is if the Argies get together with South America.
It's a pity people keep on arguing over a subject nobody really knows..who knows the real truth? The only thing I clearly know is that soldiers- both sides- died.
Nope, quite capable of using our Typhoons to destroy your airforce, and if that fails only one sub need sail from Glasgow to completely destroy any offensive capability you have with its tomahawks, harpoon and spearfish torpedo's.
@ronch0, you seem to think that the USA would be able to side with us.
This is not so due to treaties and agreements they have with your country; they cannot get directly involved.
As for the 'tools to do the job'; we've brought a hell of a lot of our own kit in over the years, as well as being at the forefront of next-generation hardware development (e.g. MBDA Meteor and JCA F-35). Even our Apache is a Boeing shell with Westland electronics/avionics.
mikhailM4 I wouldnt ve said "cry to daddy USA" but be aware that in 1982 US violated more than one agreement when they sided with Britain, as well as Chile.
The same did the French when they refused to send the rest of the missiles and to give us the codes for those 5 we had bought
Arminevh; as for who the US 'sided' with is irrelevant. That they did not participate in actual fighting is; they were not a belligerent.
As for the French; they supplied you with missiles, the US supplied the UK with missiles. That the French didn't supply you with the codes, and that the US voiced public support for the UK, is only down to the fact Argentina made an aggressive military action.
mikhailM4 What you said about the Americans could be taken as ingratitude by them....and they would be right! even when they werent directly engaged their help (and Chilean) wasnt a trifle!
The French helped YOU by betraying US, they didnt supply us with missiles they had sold them to us which is VERY different. The FACT that the betrayed us means they helped YOU.
Finally, our "agressive military action" was made without killing a single bird.
It has help gratefully recieved from the US (and from Raytheon), however, it was indirect and with good reason. I am not rebuking the US/Chilean support, and nor am I saying they should have got directly involved, so do not try to twist this to make it appear I am saying so. They couldn't because of treaties and that's the end of it.
To sell anyone arms can be considered indirect support as you are giving a nation the capacity to wage war. This is why arms embargo's exist.
As for the military action; you can't honestly tell me that the initial Argentine invasion was executed with the intention of not killing anyone.
It was being diplomatically resolved through the UN. I have heard many a time we were going to give you them back, as we did Hong Kong to China. You could say war was pretty much inevitable given both political climates, but what really kicked it off was the events of the 2nd of April 1982.
mikhailM4, Yes, Operation Rosario was planned to retake the isles without killing anyone, which, fortunatelly, was perfectly achieved. Some times an episode in the British barracks are mentioned as a contradiction, which is a mistake since the Argentine Special Forces knew it werent inhabited.
@Arminevh ,utter bullshit,the buzo tactico machine gunned,mortared,and white phos grenaded the barracks,after an over land march of some 8 miles,in the early hours,,,as if they went to all that trouble if they had the knowledge the marines had gone..they would have gone to search from them instead......your arguments are quite pathetic
jonboy, if the intention of our men had been to murder those marines, rest assure no one would ve survived, instead of that they all kept their good health.
The 1982 operation was meant not to cause casualties among the British because we were trying to avoid war, this is very well known...except for you.
The Argentine sp forces knew those barracks were abandoned, and there are many reasons for doing what they did as cleanning bobby traps, impeding the ennemy to reocuppy the building etc
I'm sorry but from a Military stand-point, I still cannot see how a preliminary invasion by special forces, resulting in a (even if brief) firefight at Port Stanley, was planned not to cause casualties. It was designed to deal with the garrison before the main force arrived.
That they were being fired upon is hardly safe in the first instance. That no Marines were killed was due to excellent soldiering, strong leadership and bloody good use of cover.
The marines defended themselves showing bravery and skills, this is undeniable, however what Im telling you isnt sth new, in fact Im surprise that you didnt know.
firefight were utterly unavoidable, hey! it was a military operation, however the professionalism of our special forces made it posible, I already told you the reason, we intended to retook the islands, not to go to war!
Anyway if you dont believe it how can you explain that no British soldier was even injured? because Im sorry...
@Arminevh ,do you truly believe your arguments? you are obviously well educated,by your good English,but your understanding of military operations,and the events of 1982 prove different,Argentina fought bravely,her Air force was superb,however,the events in Moody Brook,South Georgia,and the treatment of the islanders by the occupiers,prove that you have little appreciation of what really went on...it certainly wasn't the romantic operation you imply!
I regret to tell you that it is you who have very little appreciation of what really happened, Max Hastings, a well known British journalist who, unlike you, was there, have proved that the islanders, were by and large, very well treated. Besides you are mixing up "Oparation Rosario" with the whole war, what has to do Moody Brook with the treatmen of the islanders? As I said before, had we wanted to kill the marines, we would ve bombarded them without risking any of our men.
because Im sorry to tell you but the reason you gave is a little.....lets say flabbergasting.
Had our forces intended to kill those marines it is very easy to realise that they would ve die, at least some of them, at least one!, they would ve been bombarded, why to risk our men? why special forces (buzos tacticos)?
@Arminevh ,Argentinas intention was to invade and occupy the Falklands...they didn't manage that did they? it is hilarious how you try to turn military incompetence into a successful operation,the Moody Brook operation failed,the Marines were not where they were expected to be. I guess admitting that would totally tear apart all your arguments tho!
Well my tenacious friend, I have supported my words with arguments while you keep repeating the same thing over and over again, so if thinking that makes you happy, by all means be my guest, as for me I wont be involved in an eternal yes-no discussion.
Anyway be aware that admitting we actually were very compettent dont diminish your merits, it INCREASE them.
The facts are as follows. Argentine special forces made a clandestine landing on the Falklands,proceeded overland at night,over boggy ground,weighed down by Mortars,machine guns and ammo,surrounded and observed Moody Brook,saw no guards,but a single light,coming from the C/O office....carried out an attack,evidence from the buildings proved the use of WP grenades......and yet didn't try to kill anyone? please.......people will make up their own minds!
Arminevh Why oh why do you go on the war was 25 years ago both British and Argantine blood was spilled
The Argies fought long and hard they had an amazing well trainned well armed Air Force
But it is time to move on for a better an brighter future leave the war for remembering the fallen and the heros on both sides the rest can go in the History books
@Arminevh You say there was no intention to kill or injure in the invasion, on South Georgia ARA Guerrico opened fire on the Royal Marines with 100mm and 40mm canon, how can that not be trying to kill and injure ?
@Arminevh ,the French merely stood by their NATO ally,you seem also to overlook the fact that no British died on 2 april,due to the fact that the buzo tactico attacked empty beds,instead of sleeping marines,at Moody Brook...the intention of the Arg special forces was to murder the men before the invasion.
jonboy, really mate! if the intention of our SF had been to murder your men, that would ve been made in a twinkling of an eye without risking anyone of ours, we would ve just bombarded the barracks and other instalations with planes, those planes that were able to hit moving targets strongly defended by sea, air and land.
I hope you dont hate us so much as to deny what it is actually common knowledge.....
@Arminevh, they may have been able to call in an airstrike, yes, but the SF would still need to ensure the grounds were cleared of enemy forces. It doesn't explain the skirmish at Port Stanley though. If you'd have killed the RM, I doubt 'war' would have resulted as we killed each other enough later on, but Argentina would have isolated itself more for doing so.
Also, if Argentina knew the RM weren't in Moody, you wouldn't have bombed Stanley due to the negative press/opposition.
@Arminevh ,Argentina violated a pretty big agreement on 2 april 1982....it was called the Arana Southern agreement..the "convention of settlement"..you might want to look it up.:)
jonboy1973, I did look it up, but I honestly cant tell you anything about it since the treaty doesnt say anything about those isles and I ve noticed that it is a matter of interpretation.
However there are other two very interesting treatys the Utretch treaty and my beloved "Nootka Sound Convention". Does any of them ring any bell to you?
@Arminevh ,yes,Nootka,a bipartite agreement with Spain,nothing to do with Argentina...also,the convention settles all differences...nowhere does it say "except the Falklands".....Argentina dropping its annual claim,after signing the convention,for a full 91 years is a bit of a clue too!!
In the Nootka Britain formaly renounced any claim over any part of S America including the isles, and thugh signed with Spain has everything to do with us, just as you could benefit with some agreement your father had signed.
jonboy, bipartite or not you renounced to the isles in that treaty, and the other convention was signed due to the fact that Britain tried to invade us again in 1845 alongside with France and several other charming people, invation that fortunatelly failed......again.
Anyway I concede that treaties must be interpreted so it is not so easy to establish who renounced to what.
@Arminevh ,bipartite means exactly that,Argentina can claim no more significance from Nootka,as a treaty between Britain and Brazil....it,unlike Arana Southern,was nothing to do with Arg...interestingly,if you look at article VI,......Argentina made Nootka void in 1820,by establishing people at Port Louis!
@thebritish25 ,yes,i think they still have TWO operational Super Etendards,and a few mirages left that survived 1982,enough to keep the eurofighters at Mt Pleasant busy for about ....15 minutes
HI!, I'm from Argentina and I think this was a war without sense cos' the Argentinean and British goverments used it as an argument to hide their internal problerms in their countries and to seem popular to their people. I have a great respect on both sides soldiers and I hope this won't happen again.
si pero Argentina invadio y Bretaña respondio, la junta militar era la que estaba en problemas en Inglaterra habia una y hay democracia que hubiese respondido estando en popularidad o no, la dictadura argentina solo lo hizompara distrer la situacion interna y tratar de ganar popularidad
esa es la diferencia, aunque coincido con usted fue una estupidez
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I had not heard of the Falklands until 2nd Batallion Scots Guards 9 of which - lost their lives over there for what reason? For a bit of land that most Brits did not know existed - not forgetting Paras....... So so sad......
I was only 15 when this conflict broke. It remains in my memory to this day. I was not involved in the Falklands conflict in any way - no military family or Falklands relatives - but it was when I first realised the true horror that was really brings. I wouldn't wish any of it on anyone although if I had to for a just cause I would certainly do my duty - even now at my age of 43. I have been lucky enough never to go to war. I have complete admiration for all the soldiers - on both sides.
The Only Reason that Galtiary invaded the Islands is becuase the Argantine People started to wake up to the Dirty War and crimes commited by the Millitary Junta
and so he decided that a war whould be a way to unite the country and becuase we had pulled back Several ships and the Deffence force was only a hand full of marrines
Apart from that Britian and Argantina have fairly strong Relationship
Not quite, most of the dirty war crimes were commited by the guerrilla rather than by the Junta. On the other hand I dont think that the reason for the Falklands war was that, and I am a convinced that he knew Britain was going to fight.
I wish we would have gone against Chile instead because they are our actual enemies and not the British.
The reason this war is long forgotten is because even more tragic events happened , are happening, and will happen that won't even get a memorial clip on youtube. World War 2, now that is a war to remember!
Well then hadn't you better do something about these conflicts that don't get a mention and create your own then if you feel so compassionate about them??
As for World War 2, there is PLENTY of documentation of that war out there. When I uploaded this there was very little of the Falklands war.
The reason why people tend to forget is because the vast majority don't like the idea of war. It's a profession only some in society are capable of entering, and which very few leave unchanged.
That was such a silly war!!! The argentine regime shouldn´t have taken the islands nor sending 18 yo lads to war... what a drunk dictator Argentinas had in those days. Fortunately no continental city was bombed...thanks !
You invade someone else's sovereign territory and you commit an act of war. And if you start a war, you'd better be ready to see it through to the bitter end.
I appreciate that half the poor sods in the Argentine positions were probably spotty kids who thought they were just going on manoeuvre - but that's the pity of war.
Were Argentina to invade British territory again, I'd like to think they'd get the same response from us as last time.
The Falklands are neither Argentine nor British, they belong to the kelpers, so if they want to remain british that is the end of the story. And Regimentsof..., I would realy like that what you said come thruth, but remember...the British have been defeated twice in argentine soil...
It is the islanders..not the "kelpers". And you are correct,The British were defeated,by sending an insuffecient force,as Britain was fighting Napolean at the time....a fact you seem to keep omitting!
I realy beg your pardon, I didnt use "kelpers" offensively, that is the name YOU gave them at that time. About the rest, Napoleon was dealing with the whole Europe on the other side of the sea, so you were able to send two invasions against a small village far from the protection of Spain (which were dealing with Napoleon too BTW) and you were defeated. But it didnt mean dishonour to you, It could have happened to anyone evreywhere.
I´m proud to fight with your country we were so bad, without arms, without the adecuate technology like you. But we fight for our land, You for your queen that´s the diference.
Thanks british soldiers to Recognize our brave soldiers. Your country have more experience in the war than my country, we know that.... but we didn´t it so bad. We were clouse , "that say your general"
I ´m from Argentine. when I decided to study this war with other perspective I discovered that the british were thinking that the argentinian soldiers are defended the Fascist goverment. But let me tell you that is not correct. We know and we fell that MALVINAS are our land. Why? because when the british army lost in 1807 they decided to come back, and were looking for one land near to Buenos Aires like a military base. This was in fact on 1833. You know and we know that this is true.
and yet your government gave up their claim to the Falklands in 1850?.....so,how can you claim something that you have already,legally,given up any claim to?
I would SO rather this video without the music, I wish people would stop blasting their own music over footage that would other wise be good to watch,
Most of the footage here has just about been uploaded onto youtube/the internet in general now, so you'll probably find sound with clips that are quite a lot longer.
Or go down to the Imperial war museum Falkland exhibition, where there is also original sound to clips on a TV there. Unfortunately some of the clips I was supplied with came without sound, so I decided to make it a bit more interesting.
If you don't like it, you're quite welcome to foxtrot oscar or just turn your speakers off.
Britain, I am a New Zealander, when I think of a victory for inspiration and pride, I look at the Falklands War, I seriously suggest this as an option, Argentina has a vast ammount of natural resources and territory, an attractive target for invasion, perhaps Mr. Brown should consider removing the Argentine threat completely and take Buenos Aires like Britain re-took the falklands!
Oh aye?, do come and have a go if you think you're hard enough then. That said, you're more than likely not in the forces, never have been, and never will be, so we'll never know.
I like how you miss off our new bits of kit; Eurofighter Typhoon F-2, the most advance type 45 destroyer in the world and 2 Queen elizabeth class aircraft carriers, plus the F-35 when we get it.
Any time, any day mate...but I'd take heed these wise words if I were you;
I might point out that England lost this conflict horribly... not being disrespectfull of course, but the historical account was that england and its pilots would merely drop into the ocean if not turned around an act of GOD was the historical account Amen RA~ Allen
if England "lost" this conflict, then please explain why the Union Jack still flies over Stanley. As for the second part of your comment, I am at a complete loss.
Rebel 3052 you are intresting awnser me this how come when the Facist Argantina conscripts landed the Islanders did not greet them but when the British entered stanley they where all there why Because the
Islands are not Argantinas land I dont give a dam about the acuall Island it is the People who live there
you had about as much right in the Falklands as the Germans did in poland in 1939
argentina thought the british were ganna let it go and not luanch a defensive. the man that attacked the falklands used it to his advantage to win the people over in his country. He failed and britian took it back in 73 days i think it was. I'm an american, i feel like britian is or brother despite our past. Go britian!!!
Hi, im from Argentina.... we say ooo yeeaa Falkaldn is us!, but the true is never was us, so.... the peopple who all ways live´s in Malvinas are Engl. so.... WHY AND WHY ENGLDAND KILL US??
....whoever you are, congratulations; you've just hit the ball so fucking hard it's shot right out of the park for baseless, crass and completely untactical remark. It isn't even offensive, just a complete waste of your time to create that account and write that comment. Do one you fucking mug.
fedemundo, yo entiendo tu comentario, pero te das cuenta que, de alguna manera, te pones del lado de los ingleses, quienes por cierto, en aquel tiempo, se hubieran pasado por las bolas tu opinion...
I'm very respectful about everything related to war, and mostly related to this war because I'm from Argentina. But this video, sometimes, shows like if we were the bad guys (I don't mean England was) I just say that both countries were run by stupids who didn't know how to handle them.
and if you knew anything about the war, you'd know that it had nothing to do with imperialism, national pride, or sovereignty. I doubt either side really cared about that useless pile of rocks in the Atlantic anyway.
The whole conflict was started by a pathetic Argentine military regime that wanted to stay in power and needed a great event to distract the public from its crumbling economy. The war at least did one good thing- it led to the downfall of that crappy government.
I was born in Argentina , wich is a wonderful country saddly run in the past by a bunch of militar lunatics that led us into this horrendous and unnecessary war, that was, in the other hand, very useful for Margaret Thatcher unpopular goverment. You "Seaofsorrow..." seem not to know this basic fact, and are talking with a deep feeling of envy and resentment, that surprisingly England doesn't have anymore about our country.
Nice VID mate! As a US Nay Helo Pilot i am a student of the Falklands operation. Currently reading Hugh McManner's Book on the event. Thanks for keeping the the memory alive.
Spain were hardly a nation without an urge for conquest themselves at one stage (resulting in Spanish influence in central/South America and you). As for 'making revolutions in poor countries', I'm sorry; Aden '67? (a case of Yemen insurgency taking all they could from the UK then revolting, now look at the place), or perhaps Sierra Leone and Yugoslavia where the UK helped stop atrocities go amiss too?
Galtieri is the reason why in this age the Falklands may never be Argentinian.
Perhaps not here but I've seen a few elsewhere. Amazing how even with regards to funny adverts; someone, somehow, manages to blaze in with comments about World War 2 and how their nation is superior.
have a look around youtube; you may find where there is presence within a subject of a particular nation (or nation of origin), in spite of the subject not even concerning war or 'one nation versus another', someone finds a way to include the fact that 'the (insert country) has more nuclear weapons than yours, and won (insert wars won excluding wars lost), so therefore my country has the biggest cock.'
Such commentry you will normally find being made by some ignorant, frustrated teenager.
2. We dont got nuclear weapons because you and your minor brother (USA) push us to obey their will of be defensless against a nucklear war,
and prevent an argentinian menace
3. I only say "Goose green/Pradera del ganso" if USA didnt send to your folks the Sidewinder 5º generation our poor and old-aircrafted air force send 60,000 feets under the sea all your ships-heavy-hulled
4. Regardless your power nation you cannot build your own 5º Jet-Fighter like F/A-22.
..and thus you just (albeit oddly) quite happily just walked into the above stereotype.
If you read the comments in question more carefully, you will see they have nothing to do with any of your outlined points. This is assuming you are responding to my reply to the statement "wow, 2 weeks no arguments" and not an antiquated post right?
and on a final note; don't jump to conclusions. I may be a 'student' by profile, but has it occured to you University students go into their 20's?
not in my language no yet more specifically as the islands are under British influence, they have an English title. But if you must be so flippant; Falklands/Malvinas.
You're welcome and no worries, I was just making sure the title of this video and my logic behind it was fully covered.
It is good though that you show understanding and remembrance to the soldiers who fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice, and to those who were effected quite strongly by such conflict. It is a shame I do not see more of such an attitude displayed anymore, especially over here, you'd almost think some would sooner forget than remember...
fraid not, though it is re-enactment and not actual footage. I doubt the Para's wore the berets during the assault either as it shows, but it was the footage I got, and more so, relevant to the battle of Goose Green.
Hi mikhailM4. the Para's did fight with thier berets on during some of the battles due to them finding it hard to distinguish between enemy and friend as the battles mainly took place at night
There have been rumours, which I tried to look up again before making this comment, that a handful of squads were utilising the prototypes back in the Falklands rather than the standard weaponry. However this strikes me as unlikely, as that would create some minor logistical hassel to say the least. IT may be true, might not be. But I wouldn't be suprised if it did turn out that there were a few men using the early version of the weapons, kind of like how the Land Warrior system came in use.
The Royal British Armed Forces fought the war...and won it. A comment was made earlier...if the Yanks and others helped the Brits...so be it, is this not what allies do?
Theoretically the cruiser M Belgrano was sunk due to US satellite intel. About the mercs, first time I hear about it , since its not mentioned in any of the books published on the matter. if this is true, it is a interesting new matter on the conflict. my only doubt is how many they were and what happened to them? the argies argued that the gurkhas were also mercs, but that's not correct.
Evidently the US not only gave missiles, but most importantly satellite intel support, which helped a lot. But thats what allies are for, now there are british troops in Irak and Agfanistan, one day is for me , the other for you.
god bless all our brave brave boys, heroes all and never forget our fellow countrymen that never came home, i salute you all

1) We are not in the 20th century, we are in the 21st (not sure where you have been for the last 10 years).
2) You are seeing this only from your point of view. "Young people" didn't just come from Argentina to this conflict, the UK also lost "young people" dispelling what was nothing short of an aggressive invasion. It is through their blood that I feel the UK has just as much a claim as Argentina will ever have. Consequently, do not expect us to just 'give them away'.

The Falklands are defended sufficiently so there's no need to worry. It's now a military base and we have stationed Eurofighters, 1000 troops, Air defence systems etc there. It may not sound like allot although the Government takes into account the strength of the enemy when deciding on how heavily to protect it. This is for cost effieciency reasons and the Argies don't have allot to threaten us at the moment. The only risk is if the Argies get together with South America.

Nope, quite capable of using our Typhoons to destroy your airforce, and if that fails only one sub need sail from Glasgow to completely destroy any offensive capability you have with its tomahawks, harpoon and spearfish torpedo's.
jpd84 2 years ago
@ronch0, you seem to think that the USA would be able to side with us.
This is not so due to treaties and agreements they have with your country; they cannot get directly involved.
As for the 'tools to do the job'; we've brought a hell of a lot of our own kit in over the years, as well as being at the forefront of next-generation hardware development (e.g. MBDA Meteor and JCA F-35). Even our Apache is a Boeing shell with Westland electronics/avionics.
So no, your comment is quite invalid.
mikhailM4 2 years ago
mikhailM4 I wouldnt ve said "cry to daddy USA" but be aware that in 1982 US violated more than one agreement when they sided with Britain, as well as Chile.
The same did the French when they refused to send the rest of the missiles and to give us the codes for those 5 we had bought
Arminevh 2 years ago
Arminevh; as for who the US 'sided' with is irrelevant. That they did not participate in actual fighting is; they were not a belligerent.
As for the French; they supplied you with missiles, the US supplied the UK with missiles. That the French didn't supply you with the codes, and that the US voiced public support for the UK, is only down to the fact Argentina made an aggressive military action.
mikhailM4 2 years ago
mikhailM4 What you said about the Americans could be taken as ingratitude by them....and they would be right! even when they werent directly engaged their help (and Chilean) wasnt a trifle!
The French helped YOU by betraying US, they didnt supply us with missiles they had sold them to us which is VERY different. The FACT that the betrayed us means they helped YOU.
Finally, our "agressive military action" was made without killing a single bird.
However Im not saying those countries did wrong
Arminevh 2 years ago
It has help gratefully recieved from the US (and from Raytheon), however, it was indirect and with good reason. I am not rebuking the US/Chilean support, and nor am I saying they should have got directly involved, so do not try to twist this to make it appear I am saying so. They couldn't because of treaties and that's the end of it.
To sell anyone arms can be considered indirect support as you are giving a nation the capacity to wage war. This is why arms embargo's exist.
mikhailM4 2 years ago
Sorry, it wasnt my intention to twist your words.
Anyway I think you are clevar enough to understand that what the French did to us can hardly be called "support".
Arminevh 2 years ago
Apology accepted, but there are also UK nationals who believe the French betrayed the UK for supplying Argentina Exocets in the first place.
mikhailM4 2 years ago
As for the military action; you can't honestly tell me that the initial Argentine invasion was executed with the intention of not killing anyone.
It was being diplomatically resolved through the UN. I have heard many a time we were going to give you them back, as we did Hong Kong to China. You could say war was pretty much inevitable given both political climates, but what really kicked it off was the events of the 2nd of April 1982.
mikhailM4 2 years ago
mikhailM4, Yes, Operation Rosario was planned to retake the isles without killing anyone, which, fortunatelly, was perfectly achieved. Some times an episode in the British barracks are mentioned as a contradiction, which is a mistake since the Argentine Special Forces knew it werent inhabited.
Arminevh 2 years ago
@Arminevh ,utter bullshit,the buzo tactico machine gunned,mortared,and white phos grenaded the barracks,after an over land march of some 8 miles,in the early hours,,,as if they went to all that trouble if they had the knowledge the marines had gone..they would have gone to search from them instead......your arguments are quite pathetic
jonboy1973 2 years ago
jonboy, if the intention of our men had been to murder those marines, rest assure no one would ve survived, instead of that they all kept their good health.
The 1982 operation was meant not to cause casualties among the British because we were trying to avoid war, this is very well known...except for you.
The Argentine sp forces knew those barracks were abandoned, and there are many reasons for doing what they did as cleanning bobby traps, impeding the ennemy to reocuppy the building etc
Arminevh 2 years ago
I'm sorry but from a Military stand-point, I still cannot see how a preliminary invasion by special forces, resulting in a (even if brief) firefight at Port Stanley, was planned not to cause casualties. It was designed to deal with the garrison before the main force arrived.
That they were being fired upon is hardly safe in the first instance. That no Marines were killed was due to excellent soldiering, strong leadership and bloody good use of cover.
mikhailM4 2 years ago
The marines defended themselves showing bravery and skills, this is undeniable, however what Im telling you isnt sth new, in fact Im surprise that you didnt know.
firefight were utterly unavoidable, hey! it was a military operation, however the professionalism of our special forces made it posible, I already told you the reason, we intended to retook the islands, not to go to war!
Anyway if you dont believe it how can you explain that no British soldier was even injured? because Im sorry...
Arminevh 2 years ago
@Arminevh ,do you truly believe your arguments? you are obviously well educated,by your good English,but your understanding of military operations,and the events of 1982 prove different,Argentina fought bravely,her Air force was superb,however,the events in Moody Brook,South Georgia,and the treatment of the islanders by the occupiers,prove that you have little appreciation of what really went on...it certainly wasn't the romantic operation you imply!
jonboy1973 2 years ago
I regret to tell you that it is you who have very little appreciation of what really happened, Max Hastings, a well known British journalist who, unlike you, was there, have proved that the islanders, were by and large, very well treated. Besides you are mixing up "Oparation Rosario" with the whole war, what has to do Moody Brook with the treatmen of the islanders? As I said before, had we wanted to kill the marines, we would ve bombarded them without risking any of our men.
Arminevh 2 years ago
because Im sorry to tell you but the reason you gave is a little.....lets say flabbergasting.
Had our forces intended to kill those marines it is very easy to realise that they would ve die, at least some of them, at least one!, they would ve been bombarded, why to risk our men? why special forces (buzos tacticos)?
Arminevh 2 years ago
@Arminevh ,Argentinas intention was to invade and occupy the Falklands...they didn't manage that did they? it is hilarious how you try to turn military incompetence into a successful operation,the Moody Brook operation failed,the Marines were not where they were expected to be. I guess admitting that would totally tear apart all your arguments tho!
jonboy1973 2 years ago
Well my tenacious friend, I have supported my words with arguments while you keep repeating the same thing over and over again, so if thinking that makes you happy, by all means be my guest, as for me I wont be involved in an eternal yes-no discussion.
Anyway be aware that admitting we actually were very compettent dont diminish your merits, it INCREASE them.
Arminevh 2 years ago
@Arminevh, you haven't really supported your argument with any factual evidence, and you've also repeated the same assumption over again.
mikhailM4 2 years ago
@Arminevh ,these Arguments i await!
The facts are as follows. Argentine special forces made a clandestine landing on the Falklands,proceeded overland at night,over boggy ground,weighed down by Mortars,machine guns and ammo,surrounded and observed Moody Brook,saw no guards,but a single light,coming from the C/O office....carried out an attack,evidence from the buildings proved the use of WP grenades......and yet didn't try to kill anyone? please.......people will make up their own minds!
jonboy1973 2 years ago
Arminevh Why oh why do you go on the war was 25 years ago both British and Argantine blood was spilled
The Argies fought long and hard they had an amazing well trainned well armed Air Force
But it is time to move on for a better an brighter future leave the war for remembering the fallen and the heros on both sides the rest can go in the History books
thebritish25 2 years ago
@Arminevh You say there was no intention to kill or injure in the invasion, on South Georgia ARA Guerrico opened fire on the Royal Marines with 100mm and 40mm canon, how can that not be trying to kill and injure ?
bri4u2906 2 years ago
@Arminevh ,the French merely stood by their NATO ally,you seem also to overlook the fact that no British died on 2 april,due to the fact that the buzo tactico attacked empty beds,instead of sleeping marines,at Moody Brook...the intention of the Arg special forces was to murder the men before the invasion.
jonboy1973 2 years ago
jonboy, really mate! if the intention of our SF had been to murder your men, that would ve been made in a twinkling of an eye without risking anyone of ours, we would ve just bombarded the barracks and other instalations with planes, those planes that were able to hit moving targets strongly defended by sea, air and land.
I hope you dont hate us so much as to deny what it is actually common knowledge.....
Arminevh 2 years ago
@Arminevh, they may have been able to call in an airstrike, yes, but the SF would still need to ensure the grounds were cleared of enemy forces. It doesn't explain the skirmish at Port Stanley though. If you'd have killed the RM, I doubt 'war' would have resulted as we killed each other enough later on, but Argentina would have isolated itself more for doing so.
Also, if Argentina knew the RM weren't in Moody, you wouldn't have bombed Stanley due to the negative press/opposition.

@Arminevh ,Argentina violated a pretty big agreement on 2 april 1982....it was called the Arana Southern agreement..the "convention of settlement"..you might want to look it up.:)
jonboy1973 2 years ago
jonboy1973, I did look it up, but I honestly cant tell you anything about it since the treaty doesnt say anything about those isles and I ve noticed that it is a matter of interpretation.
However there are other two very interesting treatys the Utretch treaty and my beloved "Nootka Sound Convention". Does any of them ring any bell to you?
Arminevh 2 years ago
@Arminevh ,yes,Nootka,a bipartite agreement with Spain,nothing to do with Argentina...also,the convention settles all differences...nowhere does it say "except the Falklands".....Argentina dropping its annual claim,after signing the convention,for a full 91 years is a bit of a clue too!!
jonboy1973 2 years ago
In the Nootka Britain formaly renounced any claim over any part of S America including the isles, and thugh signed with Spain has everything to do with us, just as you could benefit with some agreement your father had signed.
Arminevh 2 years ago
@Arminevh ,wong,Nootka was purely bipartite.....had this not been the case,the Conevention of settlement would never have been signed....would it?
jonboy1973 2 years ago
jonboy, bipartite or not you renounced to the isles in that treaty, and the other convention was signed due to the fact that Britain tried to invade us again in 1845 alongside with France and several other charming people, invation that fortunatelly failed......again.
Anyway I concede that treaties must be interpreted so it is not so easy to establish who renounced to what.
Arminevh 2 years ago
@Arminevh ,bipartite means exactly that,Argentina can claim no more significance from Nootka,as a treaty between Britain and Brazil....it,unlike Arana Southern,was nothing to do with Arg...interestingly,if you look at article VI,......Argentina made Nootka void in 1820,by establishing people at Port Louis!

I was only 15 when this conflict broke. It remains in my memory to this day. I was not involved in the Falklands conflict in any way - no military family or Falklands relatives - but it was when I first realised the true horror that was really brings. I wouldn't wish any of it on anyone although if I had to for a just cause I would certainly do my duty - even now at my age of 43. I have been lucky enough never to go to war. I have complete admiration for all the soldiers - on both sides.
stigo28 2 years ago 3
The Only Reason that Galtiary invaded the Islands is becuase the Argantine People started to wake up to the Dirty War and crimes commited by the Millitary Junta
and so he decided that a war whould be a way to unite the country and becuase we had pulled back Several ships and the Deffence force was only a hand full of marrines
Apart from that Britian and Argantina have fairly strong Relationship
thebritish25 2 years ago 3
Not quite, most of the dirty war crimes were commited by the guerrilla rather than by the Junta. On the other hand I dont think that the reason for the Falklands war was that, and I am a convinced that he knew Britain was going to fight.
I wish we would have gone against Chile instead because they are our actual enemies and not the British.
Arminevh 2 years ago
The reason this war is long forgotten is because even more tragic events happened , are happening, and will happen that won't even get a memorial clip on youtube. World War 2, now that is a war to remember!

Well then hadn't you better do something about these conflicts that don't get a mention and create your own then if you feel so compassionate about them??
As for World War 2, there is PLENTY of documentation of that war out there. When I uploaded this there was very little of the Falklands war.
The reason why people tend to forget is because the vast majority don't like the idea of war. It's a profession only some in society are capable of entering, and which very few leave unchanged.

The Falklands War? Really very straightforward.
You invade someone else's sovereign territory and you commit an act of war. And if you start a war, you'd better be ready to see it through to the bitter end.
I appreciate that half the poor sods in the Argentine positions were probably spotty kids who thought they were just going on manoeuvre - but that's the pity of war.
Were Argentina to invade British territory again, I'd like to think they'd get the same response from us as last time.

The Falklands are neither Argentine nor British, they belong to the kelpers, so if they want to remain british that is the end of the story. And Regimentsof..., I would realy like that what you said come thruth, but remember...the British have been defeated twice in argentine soil...
Arminevh 2 years ago
It is the islanders..not the "kelpers". And you are correct,The British were defeated,by sending an insuffecient force,as Britain was fighting Napolean at the time....a fact you seem to keep omitting!
jonboy1973 2 years ago
I realy beg your pardon, I didnt use "kelpers" offensively, that is the name YOU gave them at that time. About the rest, Napoleon was dealing with the whole Europe on the other side of the sea, so you were able to send two invasions against a small village far from the protection of Spain (which were dealing with Napoleon too BTW) and you were defeated. But it didnt mean dishonour to you, It could have happened to anyone evreywhere.

Why? because when the british army lost in 1807 they decided to come back, and were looking for one land near to Buenos Aires like a military base. This was in fact on 1833. You know and we know that this is true.

..and thus you just (albeit oddly) quite happily just walked into the above stereotype.
If you read the comments in question more carefully, you will see they have nothing to do with any of your outlined points. This is assuming you are responding to my reply to the statement "wow, 2 weeks no arguments" and not an antiquated post right?
and on a final note; don't jump to conclusions. I may be a 'student' by profile, but has it occured to you University students go into their 20's?

not in my language no yet more specifically as the islands are under British influence, they have an English title. But if you must be so flippant; Falklands/Malvinas.

Thanks for your answer, didnt mean to bother you. It was just a lil joke. Every war is bad, I respect the soldiers and their families.

You're welcome and no worries, I was just making sure the title of this video and my logic behind it was fully covered.
It is good though that you show understanding and remembrance to the soldiers who fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice, and to those who were effected quite strongly by such conflict. It is a shame I do not see more of such an attitude displayed anymore, especially over here, you'd almost think some would sooner forget than remember...

fraid not, though it is re-enactment and not actual footage. I doubt the Para's wore the berets during the assault either as it shows, but it was the footage I got, and more so, relevant to the battle of Goose Green.

berets not SA80's i mean
tommo8993 2 years ago
fair enough.
mikhailM4 2 years ago
Hi mikhailM4. the Para's did fight with thier berets on during some of the battles due to them finding it hard to distinguish between enemy and friend as the battles mainly took place at night

There have been rumours, which I tried to look up again before making this comment, that a handful of squads were utilising the prototypes back in the Falklands rather than the standard weaponry. However this strikes me as unlikely, as that would create some minor logistical hassel to say the least. IT may be true, might not be. But I wouldn't be suprised if it did turn out that there were a few men using the early version of the weapons, kind of like how the Land Warrior system came in use.

The Royal British Armed Forces fought the war...and won it. A comment was made earlier...if the Yanks and others helped the Brits...so be it, is this not what allies do?

Theoretically the cruiser M Belgrano was sunk due to US satellite intel. About the mercs, first time I hear about it , since its not mentioned in any of the books published on the matter. if this is true, it is a interesting new matter on the conflict. my only doubt is how many they were and what happened to them? the argies argued that the gurkhas were also mercs, but that's not correct.

US intel not a torpeado from HMS conquer
tommo8993 2 years ago
Evidently the US not only gave missiles, but most importantly satellite intel support, which helped a lot. But thats what allies are for, now there are british troops in Irak and Agfanistan, one day is for me , the other for you.
