Thick cunt.

I think the Brits did an amazing job in 1982 launching a carrier attack task force, within only 3 days of the Argentinians invading the islands. Only 1 month later, the Brits torpedoed the USS Phoenix, a Brooklyn class Cruiser, by then called General Belgrano. The Brits shot down plenty of Argentinian A4 and Mirage fighter/attack aircraft using some of the 200 Sidewinder missiles from Uncle Sam.

Then they landed troops on the island about 7-8 weeks after disembarking from UK, the ground war, (which included some serious fighting, some of it hand to hand or using bayonets), lasted about 3 weeks before the Argentinians surrendered.

Pretty damn good effort that in 10-11 weeks, they sailed around 8,000 miles, and attacked a dug in army of some 13,000 Argentinians.

I believe the number of Brit combat troops landed was only in the vicinity of 5,000, so an incredible victory for democracy.

It came at a cost of around 250 Brits killed, they lost a number of boats, inc 4 big warships (type 21&42) and quite a few aircraft, many of which were lost attacking Argentinian ground positions. Pretty brutal short sharp war.

Now why wasn’t Russia kicked back out of Ukraine in 11weeks too??

Wow. The other guys in that room were enjoying the fuck out of that joke.
