Argentina’s entire military budget couldn’t sustain what the UK armed forces are doing on a daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan for more than a week or two at most….

Bit of an exaggeration. Argentinas military budget is about the same as the total UK defence budget for two weeks, or about the same as the annual supplement for operations in Afghanistan & Iraq. Considerably less than those wars are costing us in a year (the supplement doesn’t cover the costs, unfortunately), but a large fraction of it.
