Sure, sure, blame America!
Every son has had an argument with thier mother. Instead of ill words, we used muskets and cannons.
On a serious note. Argentina needs to leave the young man alone. He seems like a nice boy. He is very non political and don't deserve to be drug into a 30 year old peeing match.
The darn heir apparent is willing to serve, yet here in America, the politicians run thier kids right into some posh college, they would not have had to grades to get into normally. Love him, hate him, have to respect him.
Argentina is still a little red in the behind after the Falklands war, where the Brits beat the might of of an entire nation with nothing more than a glorified task force. Carrier based Harriers vs Land based forces. Argentina should just acknowledge they are pathetic.
Argentinians get lucky with a few exorcet missiles and think they can smash my pal the Prince. Meh poor warriors all of them.
On a side note, is the Falklands considered a territory (like Puerto Rico or Guam for the USA) or is it considered a commonwealth nation in it's own right?
