beardo said:we seriously under-estimated their Air-force...which was why we had so many ships hit/sunk
but the ground war was no contest...after 50 SAS from 22Sqn took port san carlos and we could get the Paras and Marines inland it was pratically over. the falklands terrain is like a mirror of england and we were so used to it....and sheer numbers meant we could take prt stanley and goose green with relative ease

The Argentinean Garrison numbered nearly 12,000, the British invasion force numbered just over 7,000.beardo said:but the ground war was no contest...after 50 SAS from 22Sqn took port san carlos and we could get the Paras and Marines inland it was pratically over. the falklands terrain is like a mirror of england and we were so used to it....and sheer numbers meant we could take prt stanley and goose green with relative ease
ok we fired upon a argentine ship with out warning which we should not have! which kicked the big fuss up...............so if they torpedo hadn't been released maybe the war wouldn't of been as bad.
but this mis - fire happened due to bad communication................the fire one missed the 2nd hit the bow ..............
the C.O. of the sub mistunderstood the Commands from the head and ended up firing upon the ship they had been sitting under for ages.
beardo said:No the falklands happened because the military regime was extremely unpopular and there was an economic crisis, so the military decided to re-take the falklands to ''cheer the people up''
