20th Century Battlefields: Falklands Part 6/6

25 years ago Argentina triggered the last battle on British territory when it invaded the Falkland Islands. In this episode father-and-son presenters Peter and Dan Snow fly 8000 miles to the South Atlantic to tell the story of how the British Task Force fought back to regain control.

With his high-tech graphic mapcase, Peter shows the challenges faced by the British, thousands of miles from home or even friendly bases. Dan feels the force of the Sea Harrier fighter jets, so crucial to the survival of the British fleet in these icy waters. And he goes on a night-fighting training exercise under live fire to experience for himself the tactics used by the British ground troops in their fight to dislodge the Argentinians.

The Argentinians used to own the Falklands, but then they took a carrier to the knee.

I've a feeling it's not going to last that much longer. People in Europe are sick of Muslims and their behavior. Terrorism, honor killings, child grooming rings, poppy and flag burnings, soldiers being spat on on parade..etc. All of these things have ensured that Muslims are generally hated across Europe. An entire generation of Europeans are growing up to despise them. Governments are becoming aware that pandering to Muslims isn't going to win them future votes.

And Thats what happens when you mess with Britain :)

@casperblack30 You invaded England you mean because UK wasnt around when england was geting invaded by people like Saxons,Romans and french. and eithen then England wasnt proper england untill Normans took over and by that time many tryed to invade but failed.

@MustNotRead We invaded UK many times before. I am living in a better country than UK. Europe identity I meant white people,Christianity etc. Immigrant are not a problem if they were small minority. If situation continues like that we may become minority in our country within this century,The biggest problem is Islam, they still teach Crusades enmity to their kids when they reach majority they will implement sharia law.They intentionally manufacture more child to achieve it

Oh dear, I've just taken a peep at your profile. You're not even British. You're one of these pro-EU types who probably think it's OK to "invade" Britain, lower our standard of living, reduce our working wages and create shortages in British housing, schools and healthcare - just because you're a European foreigner. A foreigner's a foreigner in my book.

@casperblack30

"European identity" ? The idea of a European identity is a twentieth century idea - invented by globalists. There is no such thing as a British-European identity. The continent of Europe is NOT a country or a nation. It is and has always been a collection of disparate separated nations. I am a staunch Nationalist and do not want Britain submerged into Europe - thank you very much. For instance, I want all Polish and other Europeans to stay within their boarders.

@casperblack30

Muslims are not "invading" Britain - they are being invited to our country by our governments which are now lead by globalist traitors who wish to demolish British national identity. But these traitors have no particular partiality to whom they encourage into our country. If our government suddenly decide to appease idiots like you and not allow Muslims in, we will still have an issue with globalists bent on destroying British sovereignty. Muslims are not the real issue.

@casperblack30

Your myopic fixation on Muslims is retarded. In case you haven't noticed, Britain is being flooded with people from all over the world - particularly from Central and Eastern Europe. Obviously, when people like you walk down your local supermarket, the European immigrants are less of a thorn in your side ( I doubt you even notice them, because they have the same colour skin as you).

@bobslay12

Thats a terrible thing to say. They were boys sent to fight a war they really didnt want to fight. poorly equipped, poorly trained and poorly lead, they were terrified. They deserve to have somewhere to rest in peace. Soldiers are soldiers and I doubt any British Falklands Veteran would agree with your most heinous statement.

[bobslay12]

Those argintinian graves should be dug up and dumped into the ocean if Argintina won't have them back.

@NicolazDamian the thing here is that the population was british, id completly agree that europeans have no place in europe, but this was a british population man, hey had to defend it.
