True - but the argies also included marines, rangers, and special forces - and the inexperienced conscripts were all replaced with the recalled class of 62 with a full years training.

And the argies were hiding in fortified bunkers in the high ground with heavy weapons, anti tank missiles, snipers with the latest night sights and numerous minefields.

The paras and marines had to attack on foot with no cover.

As a British officer said "we could have died of old age defending those positions".

Betrayed by US and Chile , Russia couldn't help anti communist countries like Argentina at that time. Israel didn't help Argentina because they sold their weapons , they didn't give them for free. England showed in this war that they weren't ready for a battle against a superpower like China or Russia , they aren't now either. England was and is weak.

Argie navy ran away when the British navy arrived.

Entire Argie airforce lost the air battle against a few subsonic British seaplanes

Argie soldiers surrendered or ran away in every battle and 11,313 argie soldiers dropped their weapons and cried for their mammies and begged to surrender before being shipped home in secrecy to hide their humiliation.

Argies were HUMILIATED by the British alone.

ADEMAS NO SE SI SABÍAS PERO ARGENTINA LES DIO UNA LECCIÓN A LOS BRITANICOS YA QUE PARA PODER REALIZAR LA MISION DEBIERON TENER LA AYUDA MILITAR TOTAL DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS Y DE CHILE YA QUE USTEDES SOLOS NO PODIAN HACER FRENTE A UNA ARGENTINA QUE PRACTICAMENTE NO TIENIAMOS DEMASIADO ARMAMENTO. Y AÚN ASI LES PATEAMOS EL TRASERO PELEANDO SOLOS Y SUPIMOS RETIRARNOS A TIEMPO CUANDO NOS QUEDAMOS SIN MUNICIONES.PERO VOLVEREMOS Y USTEDES LO SABEN POR ESO ES QUE AHORA TIENEN LA MAYOR BASE MILITARaqui
