I think that you will find Argentina to be a totally different place today to that of the early 1980s. The people are a million miles from the aggressive, don't look at me sheep of this country. I have it on good authority that a good proportion of Argentines (not Argentinians please) were totally against any form of shooting war over Las Malvinas. Of course the omnipresent "rent a mob" - they are always there for the TV cameras, gave a hideously biased impression of Argentine feeling at the time, which was great for the mob in this country.

Yes, the unnecessary slaughter on both sides was sad, and the hideous leaders on both sides have a great deal to answer for.
