Why are brits so eager to diminish the quality of argentine fighters? They are spitting upside. If their foes were so lousy, they would result even more lousy because they should defeat our troops on may the 2nd. Not month and a half later…

The troops left to defend the Falklands were mainly conscripts who had not been in combat before, although some fought hard others were not prepared either with training, supplies or mentally for the fighting that came along.
It takes time to walk from one side of the Falklands to the other when carrying all your kit. Supplies had to be brought up and constantly delivered to the troops, they needed rest before launching full scale attacks against troops that had had weeks to dig themselves in and lay minefields.
The weather was a teeny bit against the attacker as well.
Do a bit of reading on what’s involved in an amphibious assault against an entrenched enemy, and more so one rather distant from the invader’s base.
This will protect you from making such militarily uninformed and quite silly comments in future.
