    It is when I see parades such as this one, that I truly understand the words: "Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn......" To ALL young people EVERYWHERE, I say this: Enjoy your life now, today, for no-one knows what tomorrow may bring and ALWAYS - where you can - treat your fellow man with the respect that you would like to be treated with.

      As a retired Veteran I do understand the problem every Veteran has with PTSD and the lack of support for this in various countries. You are doing a great job, so keep it going.
      Kind Regards

    Sadly this video does not show how they feel inside. I am ex forces, so I have mingled in a lot of circles. If someone claims to be a Falklands veteran and they are all chatty and smiley about it. Trust me they are a Walter. I know ex Para's and Marines that say next to nothing and their eyes tear up and I am talking about big hard men almost in tears. I am the first gulf and part of Bosnia and that was a walk in the park. The Falklands a totally different war all together.

      I never served in the military but instead made my career in the police service. I served alongside many ex military guys and girls from across all branches.
      I quickly learned that the quiet understated ones were the ones to be respected, the loudmouths were the bullshitters.
      I’m retired now but if I had my time again I would fit in a stint in the military for sure..

    The British invasions of the River Plate (1806 and 1807).
    Battle of Buenos Aires
    On the 1 July, the force led by Liniers fought bravely but was overwhelmed by superior numbers in the city environs. At this crucial moment, Whitelocke did not attempt to enter the city, but twice demanded the city's surrender. Meanwhile, Buenos Aires' mayor Martín de Álzaga organised the defence of the city by digging trenches, fortifying buildings and erecting fences with great popular support for the Creoles hungered for independence. Finally, 3 days after forcing the troops under Liniers to retreat, Whitelocke resolved to attack Buenos Aires. Trusting in the superiority of his soldiers, he divided his army into 12 columns and advanced without the protection of the artillery. His army was met on the streets by a mixed race militia, including 686 African slaves,[ stiffened by the local 1st Naval Infantry Battalion and 1st 'Los Patricios' Infantry Regiment, and fighting continued on the streets of Buenos Aires on 4 July and 5 July. Whitelocke underestimated the importance of urban combat, in which the inhabitants employed cooking pots filled with burning oil and boiling water from rooftops, injuring several redcoats of the 88th Regiment. The locals eventually overwhelmed the British troops. The British had 5000 casualties.
    By the end of 5 July, the British controlled Retiro and Residencia at the cost of about 70 officers and 1,000 other ranks killed or wounded, but the city's centre was still in the hands of the defenders, and the invaders were now demoralized. At this point, a counter-attack by the militias and colonial troops present, defeated many important British commanders, including Robert Crauford and Denis Pack. Then Whitelocke proposed a 24-hour truce, which was rejected by Liniers, who ordered an artillery attack.
    After suffering 311 killed, 679 wounded and 1,808 captured or missing,Whitelocke signed an armistice with Liniers on 12 August; the local marines playing an important part in defeating Brigadier-General Robert Crauford and his two thousand redcoats at the Battle of Plaza del Mercado which is now recalled by the people of Buenos Aires as 'The Defence'.In the confusion of defeat, many British soldiers deserted their units and more than 50 were returned to the British and were court-martialed,while others were allowed to stay and would form part of the 1,200-strong British contingent that would help in the liberation of Chile. Whitelocke left the Río de la Plata basin taking with him the British forces in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and Colonia, but leaving behind 400 seriously wounded. According to Argentine journalist Juan José de Soiza Reilly, the British dead can be found today buried in a mass grave under Calle Cinco de Julio near Avenida Belgrano in downtown Buenos Aires. On his return to Great Britain, he was court-martialled and cashiered, mainly for surrendering Montevideo. There was much criticism in the British newspapers in the way Whitelocke had conducted himself and for having surrendered to a largely militia force. Whiletocke would claim that in the 71st Regiment alone there were 170 deserters.
    Casualties and losses: About 2,800 killed, wounded or captured, Unknown number of deserters.

I know a few veterans who , while regretting the death caused by the war, would have gone down again if it meant defending the right of the islanders decision to maintain their identity as that of British.
