I give the Argentine pilots points for bravery, but not much else. They lost every single air-to-air engagement they entered, and attacked rinky-dink frigates instead of the huge (and stationary) white ocean liners filled with Paras and Royal Marines who shortly afterward gave their mates on the ground the shoeing of the century.
Had the Argentine pilots taken out all those Paras and Marines, I suspect the death toll on their side would have ultimatly been a helluvalot higher...
