"Around 200 men, many of them Welsh Guards, were killed or injured as the Argentine bombs ignited the huge amount of explosives the ship was carrying."

54 men were killed at Bluff Cove, the major part (48 lost onboard the Sir Galahad) as a result of Welsh Guards Officers refusing to obey the direct orders of the Royal Marines Liaison Officer, Major Ewen Southby-Taylor. Those commanding the Welsh Guards considered the five mile march "inappropriate" or too taxing. The whole episode should never, repeat never have happened. That had nothing to do with Thatcher, or any poitician, it had a damn sight more to do with the Army going off half-cocked and being totally unprepared and ill-equipped for the task.

Interesting that the good Dr. Price does not mention the people who actually live on the Falkland Islands in his rather emotive little rant. From the tenor of his contribution I take it that those who lived there would have been quite happy living under the Agentinian Junta's benevolent rule? But I believe that the Falkland Islanders themselves would beg to differ.
