Argentina.
South American country, came 2nd the in Falklands War, down south in 82.
They do know how to do a good steak though. Armed forces tend to be like their national football team. Posturing flashy cheats who’ll try to kick you in the bollocks when the ref’s not looking.
Thy shall not impose the “Maradona mantle” on all of us! -DownSouth- Complain that their largely conscript Army was beaten, unfairly(?), by a Professional British outfit who in fairness did administer a Proper Shoeing. Argie Airforce was pretty nails in pressing home their attacks on RN ships … but still got a humping due to sloppy tactics. Argie Navy lost its cruiser (Nice one Maggie) and the Surface Fleet took a huff for the rest of the war. Naval Aviation and Marines however, were a different breed, accounting for some successes or at least decent efforts. A little known fact is that Argie Naval Aviation (8 A-4 Skyhawks and 4 Super Etendards) was indeed much more effective than the Air Force (over 100 Skyhawks, Mirage, Nesher/Daggers, Pucaras) with only 10% of their strength
crab-hating is, indeed, a world wide sport hehehe -DownSouth-. The marines held decently at Mount Tumbledown and Wireless Ridge against the Scots Guard, retreating in order once thay had exhausted their ammo.
Sadly, the country is currently producing a generation of feeble minded adolescents -and adults as well - who think they pretty much won the Falklands war (by virtue of govt. and mostly Air Force face saving propaganda. These claim they slaughtering the entire RAF, RN and cannon fodder Gurkha regiments) and that they still have a right to the islands. Guess their economy/self image is in the toilet … again! They are totally beneath contempt.
Government making noises about Falklands again in run up to 2007 elections. Some people never learn.
Indeed they do not. -DownSouth, an objective “Argie”-
That is it ? that is all they now about our country ?, that is not the arrse pedia but the Assholes pedia.
