I know this is rather an old story and probably not interesting enough to most people. But have a few new members who were actually there, on the grounds experiencing it, while most of us were just reading about it.
I would like to know more about this conflict. Not just from what we read and saw on the tv, but real life stories, either first hand account or handed down accounts.
My focus would be as follows-
1. Why did the British decided to defend an territory many thousand miles away from UK
2. What is the reaction of the military when ordered to retake the islands?
3. Was it as bad as some of the news we heard?
4. How good was the opposition, in this case the Argentinians?
I would like to appeal to my fellow forumers not to politicise this, just the stories and the challenges faced, and the the overcoming of those challenges faced.
Thank you.
