I've read that apparently the Argentines arrived thinking that they’d be welcomed, and that Britain would let Argentina take over without a fight. They handed out fliers saying: “People of the Malvinas: You have been liberated from the illegal colonial government. The People and Armed Forces of Argentina embrace you as brothers. JOIN US IN FORGING A GREAT FUTURE FOR THE ISLANDS.”
The common soldiers were under a delusion that the islanders were of Argentine descent struggling under the British yoke. They were somewhat chastened to find them speaking English and practicing English customs. |

Maybe the one guy on here I forget his name but he was a Para in the Royal Army.Not sure he might be a few years too young.
His name is Para something. |

Think of Mrs Thatcher as some of you will but IMHO she was a bit like Churchill.....the right leader at the right time.
Thatcher announces the Falklands invasion to the House of Commons

There is a Royal Navy and there is a Royal Air Force but there is no Royal Army, it's called the British Army.
