"There was no 'attack' until she sunk an Argentinian ship that was 200 miles outside the exclusion zone and sailing away from the area anyway." - Silas

What was that you were saying about never letting facts get in the way of a good rant Silas?

Argentine Invasion and occupation of the Falkland Islands 2nd April, 1982

The sinking of the ARA Belgrano 2nd May, 1982

The Argentine troops all 600 of the initial attack force plus the thousands then sent to occupy the islands between 2nd April and 2nd May were what Silas - TOURISTS

Sinking the Belgrano a war crime?? NOPE - just plain good sense and very effective it was too. Or perhaps you would have preferred it to have seen even greater numbers of British troops killed?
