    Donโ€™t forget that Argentina used plenty of British-made equipment during the Falklands War. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Yes clapped out type 42 Destroyers and 40 year old Aircraft Carrier

    Our French allies did the most damage with the Super Etendard and Exocet

    Germany is still waiting for payment for countless MB G-Wagons supplied to them.

    Did I mention the Skyhawks from Uncle Sam?

    Given the right backing and leadership our armed forces(all arms) are the best in the world and would I am sure would make it 2-0(but I hope it never comes to that!)

    This may surprise some of you but I know of at least 1 case of this personally that happened during the Falklands.

    I will not comment futher than just to say an enemy soldier was shot by a British Para having given himself up.

    They did not take prisoners.

    So you saw this with your own eyes then? Don’t cop out with I will not comment further.
    If you have evidence of this take it to the authorities.

    Again the old chestnuts keep coming up

    ‘H’ Jones was shot in the back deliberately by his own men is another.

    American mercenaries fought alongside the Argie’s is another.

    Put up or shut up. This is my old Regiment who’s name you are trying to drag in the mud.

    No I had left before the Falklands so I don’t comment on the accuracy of heresay!

    Moggy,
    I agree with you and was going to post a similar reply.(except yours was succinct whereas I would have waffled on)
