What are the Argies doing for the 25th Anniversary of the Falklands Conflict ?

Question

and do they think we're trying to rub it in with our big ceromy at Horsegaurds and on the Falklands ?

Ooooh, get conranger flapping on about my spelling........ What, was you abused by your English Teacher or something ?

To Iain.... They outnumbered us roughly 8 to 1 and when we got the FALKLANDS, there was no such country as Argentina.

Answer 1

I couldn't imagine they would want to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their defeat.
I do think we are trying to rub their noses in it , a bit. At the end of the day, people from both sides died and that should be remembered at any ceremony, and not just the soldiers who died from our country.

Answer 2

Violator - "Leftys" did not elect to supply the Islands away. in reality the Labour government of Jim Callaghan despatched warships to the Falklands interior the previous due Seventies to warn off the Argentinians while they seen invading then. do not overlook it somewhat is replaced into the political ineptitude of the Thatcher government which brought about the Argentinians believing they might grab the islands. Merlin - the "French Scum" you communicate over with have been the folk who gave us the codes to disable the Exocet missiles and lent the RAF great Entardarde jets so as that they might practice close wrestle with them. Peter C - the Falklanders do elect to stay British. yet they weren't British on the time of the conflict. The Thatcher government had made this clean interior the 1981 Nationality Act (between the excuses why the Argentinians nevertheless the British had given up of the islands). The islanders purely grew to become British under the 1983 Nationality (Falkland Islands) Act. JS (under). Your remark concerning to the army is twaddle. The RN now has a a techniques greater effective capacity for Falklands variety deployments that it had in 1982 - HMS ALBION, HMS BULWARK and HMS OCEAN, plus countless new RFAs. to boot our submarines can now fireplace cruise missiles at land targets.

Answer 3

There was no celebration, but the President of the Argentine
did make a public address stating that The United Kingdom
only won the Malvinas (not Falklands) because they had
a superior Military Force, and the UK continue to have a respectable military force.

However, the Malvinas continue to be Argentinian territory independent of any contrary opinion.
This address took less than one minute of TV transmission.

In addition: I restricted my answer to your question stating
that there were no "celebrations", in the sense of parties.
No doubt, there were "religious celebrations" in respect of
to the dead and wounded. I also restricted my answer to
the "political side" only to show that the President, without
any mention of name, still regards the "Malvina" Islands to
be Argentinian soil, therefore leading those who know no
better, to understand that "Argentinian Soil" places the site
subjected to further intervention, if and when the authorities
should feel capable of taking over, if either by pen or pain.
Obviously this was a Presidential Speech which showed
disrespect to both sides, and perhaps aimed as a show
strictly made to earn political Strength. To me, it was a
stupid move and this is the reason refrained from mentioning names.

But I think it should be known that I am a Scotsman, born
in Glasgow and attented "Fettes College" from 1949 to
1954. Also, at the time of the conflict, I was in Mexico
participating of the "Benito Juarez" International Shooting
Match. In the "Standard Pistol" event, which is an ISU
version of the American NMC, I placed first, seconded by
Mr. Horton of Australia, and on the podium was my good friend "Oscar Yuston" from the Argentine, who came in third.
And there are military all around, bands and you name it,
and only one good man clapping and smiling. This was
Oscar Yuston. All of these facts can be verified since all
is on record, as written and as photographic history. And if
anyone needs photos, go to iainritchies iPhoto album in
gmail picassa web album, or send me an email message at
Yahoo‘s 360 page. I have no wish to show off but those in
doubt, please notice Mr. Yuston‘s pleasure in coming in third, we are good friends to this day. Coincidentally, all of this happened in 1980, 81 and 82, this last time around
Mr. Igor Puziriez, the world record holder, came in third, and
seconded by Cap. John Kailer of the USA. Yuston and I
discussed the issue at length, and before the first shot was
fired, he expressed his feelings of the never ending idiotic
Argentine Politics. I did not wish to mention any names,
but felt forced, so that the true feelings of all sides should
be known. I will end this monologue, only by saying "let us
pray" and by us, I mean the whole wide world.

Answer 4

Argentinian Veterans will be holding commemorative services in memory of their dead and wounded, who after all were only doing their duty as ordered during the conflict, it has to be remembered that over 75% of the Argentine forces in the Falklands war were conscripts.

They, no doubt are able to spell the words ceremony and Guards unlike the troll who posted the original question.

And there will be no BIG ceremony on the Falkland Islands only the normal ceremony of remembering the British & Argentinian dead who are buried on the Islands.

Respect is due to both sides, for when you lose your respect for the enemy and his dead you do yourself a dishonour!!

Obviously the poster of the question has had no military service.

The original ignorant poster is also unaware of the history of the islands they were first claimed & owned by the Argentinians, but not settled by them, the British had a whaling station there in the mid-1800s and from that time kept a presence on the islands, with time, the flawed mentality of "possesion being nine tenths of the law" makes them ours evolved.
