We must admit that you British made us shed blood on those islands, but your nation liberated us from the Galtieri dictatorship. greetings from Argentina
We still Love the Argentine People, but the indoctrination and propaganda over the Islands must stop. The Islander's rights to peace and prosperity must be recognised.
I like how the argies literally sunk a somewhat vital supply ship along with a few chinooks that were VERY important for transport and the operation was about to fail but the fucking british commander was like "Nahhhhhhhhhhhh, we'll just walk there." and they won.
@@georgejob7544 You WERE about to lose, the argie commander at the time was trained by basically the CIA(american tactics) and he wasn't ready for the weaponized autism of british tactics, he was expecting a direct assault on the port and airfield but the british went "Oi m8, whadda about we take the ole' route and we just walk 'ere?." And he got caught off guard, i mean good for the british but your tactics are autistic and risky, and it relays on the enemy NOT expecting it.
It’s still important to remember the gallant sacrifice of the British Soldiers who payed the ultimate sacrifice for those 1800 people and half a million sheep, lest we forget.
A few comments here: First considering there were a thousand or so British citizens on the islands and they were taken over by a totalitarian police state that murdered their own people it can be concluded that the Falkland War was the largest hostage rescue operation in history. Second, I know this is a parody of "The Battle of New Orleans", kind of separate theme from the original song, but inspired nonetheless. Third, I wonder if the Argentines aren't more offended by the "football" comment than losing the islands.
I don't know about the football thing but poking around on the internet it seems many (or at least a very vocal few) are very pissed about the conflict still.
I've a sneaking suspicion that they stocked up their ships full of British beer and bullets mobilised their navy, called up the marines then sailed two weeks 'till they reached the Falklands so they could teach those Argentines a lesson... just a hunch.
Thanks mate. I like to travel a bit and once this Covid crap is done with I have promised to go to Iceland with M'lady. But the next trip is going to be to your country. All the best of luck to you and yours.

If they'd had the foresight to extend the runway at Stanley, they could have made a serious mess of our task force; probably would have won the war... 100% honest.
You don't know the half of it. They had five air launched exocet missiles and only five aircraft capable of launching them. With that meagre number, they managed three hits on two British ships after a round journey of 1000 miles. Both ships were destroyed. Thank our lucky stars that five was all they had.
The tipping point was landing the troops....until that point it was a close run thing....Atlantic Conveyor....Sheffield and Coventry...but once the troops where on the beachhead in San Carlos....then it became personal with one result...

Those argies killing the same number of british soldiers on combat. Remember that the cowards sank a ship on the Argentine shore, which was outside the war zone. but in combat, the deaths are the same or more for the British. They even concealed HMS Invincible after the last Argentine attack. If we did not intervene to force our puppets in Argentina to surrender, the Air Force of that country would have killed them all and today they would be without that colony. Long live America and nothing more!
They didn't do much fighting, if any. The Argies ran away when they heard that the troops in front of them were Gurkas :)))) our little brown friends were very upset....

Respect to those on both sides that had to do the fighting, and especially those killed and injured. Unfortunately the rash actions of the Argentine dictatorship invading the islands gave us no choice. Wish world leaders would stop creating situations that start wars.

I was born British, my wife is an Anglo Argentine. She lost some of her school friends when the "Belgrano" was sunk, and as a recent long serving member of the British Merchant marine at the time, it hurt me too when the Atlantic conveyor and the "shiney sheff " were destroyed by 'enemy ' fire.

My family, like me are Irish but my grandas mum who is my great great granny is scouse and her first boyfriend was an American pilot in ww2 and was killed in a battle in the air with the Japanese. My Great Great Granda Evans also served in both ww1 and ww2 and survived both wars.
@@christian9125abd Britain came very close to sinking the Argentinean carrier. A British submarine had visual of it but dropped it's pursuit once it entered Argentinean water. If it had been a "real" war the submarine would have continued and sunk the carrier.
I am reminded of a quote by Admiral Cunningham during the operation to evacuate Allied forces from Crete. The Royal Navy was taking a belting from Nazi land-based air attacks from Greece (made by planes that had been shot out of the sky during the Battle of Britain - but no British fighters over Crete to speak of). With 19 ships lost and many wondering if they could continue, Cunningham said "It takes three years to build a warship, but 300 to build a tradition - we are not letting the Army down". - and they didn't. Only the Brits could have pulled that off because they know how to bite the bullet and press on regardless. All three (four if you count the Marines as a separate service) contributed. It was, as Wellington said of Waterloo - 'a close run thing'. The Argentine Air Force in particular performed to the max.
Meanwhile over in the Pacific, the IJN were throwing the IJA's equipment and supplies off their destroyers at the first sight of enemy aircraft to move quicker, while the IJA refused to intercept enemy fighters because "they're over water, it's the navy's problem."
And also to canada.. i visited twice 2009 2010 i had an uncle who flew the canadian lancasters and in the warplane air museum there is a memorial on a wall with all the pilots names his was there so was good to see that plus all the other great places you have a beautifull country.

@@halo3odst908 PMSL ... this is not 1982. You would need a force ten times the size of the last. Your landing fleet would not get past the Air-defence, and your ships would be picked off by our submarines.
We Yanks have long known that tune as The Ballad of New Orleans, the story of a little scrap with had with you people back in 1815. The story it tells is, of course, completely historically accurate. My favorite verse goes: We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.
...as one who who was there in 82... I can say with utter and complete sincerity, this is bollocks. Never heard while I was there and this is the first time since...39 years later.

I remember that our American military was formed and built upon the British Royal Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force traditions and organization!!!
The US's strategic situation is roughly the same as the UK's, latter being a highly industrialised ex-superpower on an island that can focus on its navy, former being a highly industrialised superpower on a continent with very few enemies (and those that are are too weak to challenge it)
Thus logically a focus on the navy and air force while maintaining a small but professional army works/worked excellent for both
Plus historically naval power had always been a more useful investment over land power
I like to think of it more as a liberation fleet
I still like how the US military uses the British navy Salute

Respect to our Armed Forces past and Present .Greetings from Gibraltar.
Lets'be 100% honest - the bloody Argies had absolutely no feckin chance or winning..............
If they'd had the foresight to extend the runway at Stanley, they could have made a serious mess of our task force; probably would have won the war... 100% honest.
You don't know the half of it. They had five air launched exocet missiles and only five aircraft capable of launching them. With that meagre number, they managed three hits on two British ships after a round journey of 1000 miles. Both ships were destroyed. Thank our lucky stars that five was all they had.
They had a very good chance of winning actually, that's partially what made the Falklands such a significant victory.
it was teenagers vrs paratroopers and marines..... OOF
The tipping point was landing the troops....until that point it was a close run thing....Atlantic Conveyor....Sheffield and Coventry...but once the troops where on the beachhead in San Carlos....then it became personal with one result...

They even concealed HMS Invincible after the last Argentine attack.

We both wept.

@Colombiaball Mapping Bro it's a opinion
@Colombiaball Mapping lost this war, hey
I am reminded of a quote by Admiral Cunningham during the operation to evacuate Allied forces from Crete. The Royal Navy was taking a belting from Nazi land-based air attacks from Greece (made by planes that had been shot out of the sky during the Battle of Britain - but no British fighters over Crete to speak of). With 19 ships lost and many wondering if they could continue, Cunningham said "It takes three years to build a warship, but 300 to build a tradition - we are not letting the Army down". - and they didn't. Only the Brits could have pulled that off because they know how to bite the bullet and press on regardless. All three (four if you count the Marines as a separate service) contributed. It was, as Wellington said of Waterloo - 'a close run thing'. The Argentine Air Force in particular performed to the max.
only the brits can do stuff like that.... sovietunion did even more unthinkable stuff and survived past 1941, which nobody belived it could hold on.
Meanwhile over in the Pacific, the IJN were throwing the IJA's equipment and supplies off their destroyers at the first sight of enemy aircraft to move quicker, while the IJA refused to intercept enemy fighters because "they're over water, it's the navy's problem."
Waterloo was an EU type of war against France.
British one among many.
That was THEN, not NOW! 😂
Love from the states. No one writes a marching song like the brits
The best part is this is baced of a American song about beating Britain is 1 battle of the 1812 war

PMSL ... this is not 1982. You would need a force ten times the size of the last. Your landing fleet would not get past the Air-defence, and your ships would be picked off by our submarines.
We Yanks have long known that tune as The Ballad of New Orleans, the story of a little scrap with had with you people back in 1815. The story it tells is, of course, completely historically accurate. My favorite verse goes:
We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.
Or The Battle of Kookamonga if you're a Homer and Jethro fan.
Where a troop of Boy Scouts finds a Troop of Girl Scouts.
