Oh?? I think that it is you who are talking bollocks Silas.

"There was never a shot fired till she sank the belgrano"

So there was no battle fought between the 23 Royal Marines on South Georgia on the 3rd April that resulted in one Argentine Helicopter being shot down (GPMG Fire), one ARA Corvette damaged (Over 200 hits from small arms fire plus one direct hit from a 84mm Carl Gustav anti-tank Rocket), 3 Argentines killed and 9 wounded.

Not bad for never a shot fired eh??

Still Silas never let the facts get in the way of a good story no matter how badly or inaccurately told. Personally son I'd rather deal in the truth.

"As to whether the Falklands should belong to Argentina or Great Britain, that's strictly a matter of national opinion. I can fully understand why the Argentinians feel they should own those islands, but they should not have taken military action over it, they should have continued engaging in peaceful negotiation. It's possible that one day the British will give (or sell) those islands to Argentina if they decide that the expense of keeping them is too much to bear." - Little Hawk

So the wishes of the people who have lived there for generations count for nothing - interesting take on things - goes directly against everything that the United Nations is supposed to stand for - Right of self-determination.
