Dick ~ As you say, always a pleasure to correspond with you even from opposing viewpoints.
Disagreements as to which wars may be justified, and which victories it may be appropriate to rejoice, are matters we can reasonably disagree on. But they were no part of my point. What I was objecting to was Squeezy's having made use, with illogical and idiotic self-justification predicated on the fact that one couldn't be glad of a victory because some people might have lost relatives in it, of the animadversion "callous, vindictive cow [with] audacity". From a 20-year-old it was a piece of unforgivable filthy manners & crass stupidity, with the perpetrator's youth just possibly to be pleaded as some sort of mitigation. For the same man at 50+ to recall it with boastful pride strikes me as more pitiably pathetic than anything else. This Squeezer individual, whoever he may be {one notes that he hides behind a nickname!}, is just clearly a foolish mannerless beyond-the-pale outsider who should be excluded from any sort of adult discourse.
YMMV, but that was where I was coming from. The Falklands & the rejoicing are merely tangential to the primary point as to Squeezy's outright idiocy & horribleness.
