Of course we didn´t expect casualties because we did never expect a war. None of the families supported the invasion, we all were immersed in an historical economic crisis and still moarning the casualties of an internal and terrible war which left thousands of dead civilians and 30,000 missing. The call to war was the last attempt for an already falling dictator (Galtieri and partners) to stay in place. Argentine and British soldiers paid the bill. A brief story is in this site: http://www.argentina.org.au/malvinas_islands.htm As complicated as any other colonial conflict, this one seems to be the most stupid in History...
