Personally I'd hope for something real to help.
Not fairy tales for weak willed adults who're too damn scared of being responsible for themselves and running from the inevitable, trying to comfort yourselves with a supposed higher being.

Enjoy talking to yourself and hopefully eventually understanding how pointless it all is, you don't need a god to be a good person, in fact religions are responsible for some of the worst atrocities of humanity.

It was Maggies war, no one elses!
In the recent queue to pay respect to the late Queen, I got chatting to a Gurkha who had served bravely in the Falklands. Would have been lovely to see someone like him included in this report.
The Gurkhas definitely don't get enough respect for what they've offered
I believe the Gurkhas never got into combat during the conflict, they never got a chance before the surrender
@@quasar_33b Some among the Argentinian conscripts (many of them still high school boys) were led to believe by the Junta that Gurkhas were coke addicted cannibals. Hence, most surrendered to the Royal Marines if they knew Gurkha Rifles were on the way.
From what I heard, it's the Argentinian artillery that was the most omnipresent threat.
@@quasar_33bI'm pretty sure the Gurkhas were deployed there, my dad used to work with an Argentine veteran, he didn't know he was in the falklands until they were playing a video of a tractor and he screamed because the sound of the engine made him think it was a plane, he apologized and explained that he was in the falklands and mentioned that he saw the Gurkhas behead people
Personally I wouldn't take this as a completely reliable source, it's quite clear that there were a lot of myths about the gurkhas spread in the argentine army, and while they did see action it was near the end of the conflict and in small engagements
@@mau7522 they were on the ground but never got into combat, maybe he saw them after the surrender?
Thank you to you all , Rest in Peace all those who passed away not only at the Falklands but in all wars, RIP also to the young Argentinian soldiers who were brainwashed by an evil military junta to fight here. 🇬🇧❤️🇫🇰

In Argentina, the feeling for the Malvinas is very strong, although the war can be analyzed from various points of view, such as military and political. It can be said that this war did more damage to the relations of both peoples because even before the war, there were many cultural ties. I only hope that the new generations can change it is a reality because both peoples have a lot in common just as Japan and the USA could have been enemies and today they are allies the same should happen on this side of the South Atlantic
Falklanders are british, falklands islands are an extension of britain, it's nothing like america and japan. America defeated japan and demilitarized them, only allowing them a defensive force and filling the gaps in japans military with their own troops. After the war we gave the Falklands the choice to remain British or join Argentina they all voted unanimously to stay British And like the british i doubt they honestly care if your lot hate them because brits sailed half way around the globe to liberate them after your failed invasion.
I couldn't agree more. The potential behind such a friendship would be HUGE & very helpful for BOTH nations.
No such place as the Malvinas.

Those silhouettes are haunting. It’s a shame that there are still people in Argentina pushing the narrative that the islands are theirs, and should be forcefully taken again. The people of the Falklands voted to remain with the UK, and that needs to be respected.

When the reality of becomes so real it is as though you can touch it with your hands and feel it with your heart, you realize the reality, the realness in your faith. Heaven DEFINITELY exists! The discovery, of the realness provides sense of laughter at such the experience of crying over the loss of someone, if there shall be, a seeing them again, in Heaven. Albeit there is obviously still, the understanding, the sense of compassion in the human experience. People do hurt, become emotional upon losing loved ones as the pass on, as they ascend. The hope, they ascend. 🤗🙌🤗
ngl it is kind of weird that Britain still has what I consider colonial territory but I am Uruguayan Argentine descendant and I think Argentina is moronic for starting a war over these small island.

Uninhabited islands that the British settled before Argentina even existed? I don’t feel weird that it’s British
@@cartlaidiania UK stole the islands in 1833
Well this is nice and all. Those few who suffered have my empathy.
But it's still difficult to take the Falklands War terribly seriously. It was extremely brief and Argentina was extremely foolish. Thatcher saw an opportunity for an easy win and took it.
Understandable, but to those who were actually there it's basically like Britain & Argentina's version of Vietnam, and all the politics aside it was still a terrible experience as many of those who fought there came back with scars invisible to the eye, and it's still a very big deal to them and their families; and yeah it's a smaller-scale shorter war than most major-power modern conflicts, and was definitely an easier time overall for the British, but we're still talking thousands of people here a long way from home, fighting in some of the coldest most miserable conditions imaginable with relatively modern weapons, and with civilians under occupation caught in the middle

I mean yeah, that's their name in Spanish. Whether Falklands or Malvinas, the name is a purely linguistic difference that shouldn't be political.

It exploited their courage to send them there but Thatcher wanted 'her war'. Its devastating really and I hope the visit there affords them some healing. Great sacrifices were made.
Yes, it had nothing to do with British people being forced under Argentine control down the barrel of a gun, it was all thatcher 🙄
lmfao, Argentinians are still salty about losing a war of conquest that they started.
It helped liberate the Argentine people from a bloody repressive junta which murdered ~19,000 of its citizens, many of whom were ‘disappeared’ never to be heard from again. Silver linings as the junta fell due to the Falklands loss. That regime started the war in an attempt to build popular support. Thanks to the UK military, their plans failed.

"Her war"
It was not her war.
It was the war of the military junta ruling Argentina at the time. They were losing popularity so they started a war to drum up support.
Thatcher's War! They should never have been sent there in the first place. What good are politicians if they cannot achieve results by diplomacy?
"War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!" (Edwin Starr)
That's really dumb. Do you think diplomacy would work with other imperialist countries like Russia. Do you think we should have tried to win WW2 with diplomacy? Not to mention that it was the Argentinian government that started the war.
@@BONK_2000 you're talking chalk and cheese. Obviously, it hasn't worked with Putin, but the question is why not? And WWII was a completely different kettle of fish.
Diplomacy must be given a chance, but too many governments start saber rattling first, then don't have the intelligence to back off or fear showing political weakness to do so. Why? It's not them, nor their sons and daughters who will be in the firing line. If you think that is dumb, then that's your opinion and you're welcome it it.

And they also lost the actual war, kinda a major factor that outweighs all the others don't you think?
Attacking in war almost always means taking more losses than the defender.
Not one single one of British harrier jump-jets of them 22 ->28 were shot down by Argentine air force fighters x2 collided & those that got brought down were by land fire & land based missles !!! The others & helicopters were lost on the merchant ship Atlantic conveyor which was a civilian ship bringing in additional helicopters & planes for air support but got hit with an exorcet !!! The Belgrano was sunk !!by HMS Conqueror & another nuclear powered submarine was actually after & tracking the Argentine air craft carrier & ( ex Royal navy ship ) but that went back to port quick in dash as it might get torpedoed as well !! thier air craft carrier went back in shallow water to avoid the sub , but the rest of Argentine navy went back to port with it therefore not wanting to engage the Royal navy ha ha !!!

The Falklands are, sadly, too easy to armchair judge from afar.
The troops involved were military members. Who swore to protect their country's interests. THEY didn't decide to uphold a 200-year old colonization tradition.
They chose to honor their vows to their line of work, where you sacrifice your life for your country and your fellow soldiers.
The Argentinians, did, too. Just saying.
Whether to enforce 1800s colonial policy comes from their own hearts, or just a tradition/obedience to their country's military orders, is up to them.
Nobody deserves to lose friends or (at least in my case) friends who mean more than family. That's true for both sides.
War is hell. Everyone knows that. But only a few stand up and serve.
My heart goes out to all who lost their lives... but also those who survived and also lost.
There will be a day when we ALL shake hands and say... "Are we finished, now?"

Were they REALLY there to liberate those islands? The whole war was stupid from front to back.
Honestly, in this case, they really were. The Islands are British, the people on it are British. Argentina invaded, laid claim. They got pushed out, much to the jubilation of the people that were in fact living there. I'd say those people were liberated in the most unambiguous use of the word.
@@retro2103 We've heard all the tired defenses of British and American colonialism before. Save it for someone who cares. I'm well aware about the history of the Falklands War as well as the demographics of those that lived on the islands at the time.

And there's never a shortage of IDIOTS like you jumping in there to defend these colonialist pigs. Please drone on further about the righteousness of British colonialism. Should those in Africa that had their families wiped out by the British be thanking Britain for that very privilege? I'm sure that they should according to your idiocy.

And since you worship British colonialism, I do hope you're rearing to go the next time the so called king is in need of some hapless souls that he would like to send away to die for Britain's extraterritorial ambitions. If you're already in the British military, then you're but one step closer to being his cannon fodder.
@@Eliminator5555You're under the apprehension I love Britain unconditionally and think they can do no wrong. You couldn't be further from the truth. The British have plenty, PLENTY of skeletons in their closet. The response to the Irish potato famine, the Opium wars, the Bengal famine... To name but a few. Cruelties perpetrated in the name of empire. BUT the Falkland war was _not_ one of them in my estimation.
Let's not kid ourselves. It was a miscalculated attempt of a fascist military Junta to gain legitimacy in the eyes of the people it dominated, Britain merely responded to aid the citizens that lived on the by then considered economically unviable but culturally relatable barren rocks as any nation would. The people of Port Stanley did not want to be under a government of Buenos Aires, hence I said they were in fact liberated when the British retook the islands. How is that so hard for you to understand? They, the people that actually live there, do not WANT you there, and after the military attempt, I'd say that desire is more than justified. If Argentina had been patient then maybe the Malvinas would've drifted into Argentina's sphere of influence more readily as the British empire continued to wane. Now, there is little chance of that happening, and it's not the fault of British colonialism this time. The blame lies entirely on an Argentinian government that got desperate for a win.
