We must admit that you British made us shed blood on those islands, but your nation liberated us from the Galtieri dictatorship. greetings from Argentina
We still Love the Argentine People, but the indoctrination and propaganda over the Islands must stop. The Islander's rights to peace and prosperity must be recognised.
I like how the argies literally sunk a somewhat vital supply ship along with a few chinooks that were VERY important for transport and the operation was about to fail but the fucking british commander was like "Nahhhhhhhhhhhh, we'll just walk there." and they won.
@@georgejob7544 You WERE about to lose, the argie commander at the time was trained by basically the CIA(american tactics) and he wasn't ready for the weaponized autism of british tactics, he was expecting a direct assault on the port and airfield but the british went "Oi m8, whadda about we take the ole' route and we just walk 'ere?." And he got caught off guard, i mean good for the british but your tactics are autistic and risky, and it relays on the enemy NOT expecting it.
It’s still important to remember the gallant sacrifice of the British Soldiers who payed the ultimate sacrifice for those 1800 people and half a million sheep, lest we forget.
A few comments here: First considering there were a thousand or so British citizens on the islands and they were taken over by a totalitarian police state that murdered their own people it can be concluded that the Falkland War was the largest hostage rescue operation in history. Second, I know this is a parody of "The Battle of New Orleans", kind of separate theme from the original song, but inspired nonetheless. Third, I wonder if the Argentines aren't more offended by the "football" comment than losing the islands.
I don't know about the football thing but poking around on the internet it seems many (or at least a very vocal few) are very pissed about the conflict still.
I've a sneaking suspicion that they stocked up their ships full of British beer and bullets mobilised their navy, called up the marines then sailed two weeks 'till they reached the Falklands so they could teach those Argentines a lesson... just a hunch.

I was born British, my wife is an Anglo Argentine. She lost some of her school friends when the "Belgrano" was sunk, and as a recent long serving member of the British Merchant marine at the time, it hurt me too when the Atlantic conveyor and the "shiney sheff " were destroyed by 'enemy ' fire. We both wept.
The captain of the general belgrando agreed the sinking was legitamte because they were manoeuvreing into attack , i also just read the comment again and i may have gone over the tp replying but it took me a long time to type so here we are
If they'd had the foresight to extend the runway at Stanley, they could have made a serious mess of our task force; probably would have won the war... 100% honest.
You don't know the half of it. They had five air launched exocet missiles and only five aircraft capable of launching them. With that meagre number, they managed three hits on two British ships after a round journey of 1000 miles. Both ships were destroyed. Thank our lucky stars that five was all they had.
The tipping point was landing the troops....until that point it was a close run thing....Atlantic Conveyor....Sheffield and Coventry...but once the troops where on the beachhead in San Carlos....then it became personal with one result...
@@paulgray9084 Times could be better, but i will always be proud of my Britannia. The Empire might be gone, but as long as the Queen and the commonwealth lives on so does our legacy.
@@arthurwellesley1stdukeofwe890 Well like the great Duke we may have to fight our waterloo to get our country back. The faklands was our Last great show of strength as a nation . Since then I think the late Arthur would be appalled with what our great Britain 🏴 has become which is a country run by criminals and frankly scum not just in government even within the ranks of the royals 😢
I am reminded of a quote by Admiral Cunningham during the operation to evacuate Allied forces from Crete. The Royal Navy was taking a belting from Nazi land-based air attacks from Greece (made by planes that had been shot out of the sky during the Battle of Britain - but no British fighters over Crete to speak of). With 19 ships lost and many wondering if they could continue, Cunningham said "It takes three years to build a warship, but 300 to build a tradition - we are not letting the Army down". - and they didn't. Only the Brits could have pulled that off because they know how to bite the bullet and press on regardless. All three (four if you count the Marines as a separate service) contributed. It was, as Wellington said of Waterloo - 'a close run thing'. The Argentine Air Force in particular performed to the max.
Meanwhile over in the Pacific, the IJN were throwing the IJA's equipment and supplies off their destroyers at the first sight of enemy aircraft to move quicker, while the IJA refused to intercept enemy fighters because "they're over water, it's the navy's problem."
My buddies in the Army in the 80's the 90's and now retired - what can I say as a civvy - I love them all - fund the army lets have more respect for the best army in the world!!
@@christian9125abd Britain came very close to sinking the Argentinean carrier. A British submarine had visual of it but dropped it's pursuit once it entered Argentinean water. If it had been a "real" war the submarine would have continued and sunk the carrier.
Those argies killing the same number of british soldiers on combat. Remember that the cowards sank a ship on the Argentine shore, which was outside the war zone. but in combat, the deaths are the same or more for the British. They even concealed HMS Invincible after the last Argentine attack. If we did not intervene to force our puppets in Argentina to surrender, the Air Force of that country would have killed them all and today they would be without that colony. Long live America and nothing more!
We Yanks have long known that tune as The Ballad of New Orleans, the story of a little scrap with had with you people back in 1815. The story it tells is, of course, completely historically accurate. My favorite verse goes: We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.
All my granda's side of my family served in the British armed forces. Mostly in World war 2 and the Cold war. My family, like me are Irish but my grandas mum who is my great great granny is scouse and her first boyfriend was an American pilot in ww2 and was killed in a battle in the air with the Japanese. My Great Great Granda Evans also served in both ww1 and ww2 and survived both wars.
And also to canada.. i visited twice 2009 2010 i had an uncle who flew the canadian lancasters and in the warplane air museum there is a memorial on a wall with all the pilots names his was there so was good to see that plus all the other great places you have a beautifull country.
@@darthgardner very interesting. I had a great uncle who was a tail gunner on a Lancaster crew. He broke his nose playing football one afternoon and was unable to go on the nights mission. The rest of the crew never came back. Brave lads all of them. Cheers!
@@halo3odst908 PMSL ... this is not 1982. You would need a force ten times the size of the last. Your landing fleet would not get past the Air-defence, and your ships would be picked off by our submarines.
Apart from I Am Sailing and Dont Cry For Me Argentina I completely missed out on patriotic music from the Falklands war. It merited a symphony once it was over.
Unfortunately, the argentine soldiers paid for a regime trying to divert attention away from domestic politics. I dislike Thatcherism, however, full credit to Mrs T. whom gave us back some of our lost credit, When Harold Wilson tried to negotiate. (Talks on board HMS Tiger) indeed Rule Britannia and God Save The Queen.
The story is that Thatcher wanted to back off, allow Argentina to annex the islands. It was the British senior military commander who had himself immediately driven to see her and insisted that if we did not respond to liberate the islands then the question must be asked of what was the purpose of of a military? He made clear that the military had the capacity to succeed. Under that threat Thatcher had no political alternative than to so order the military and so began the political spin that elevated her to the hero of the hour.
@@Hartley_Hare Yes, of course. Britain's proper response would have been to do nothing. Thatcher only sent the troops for political advantage, and the poor people living in the Falklands aren't worth a fig.
Thank you so much for showing the lyrics of this wonderful British military song. ✋😊 💕. * P.s. , I like the words of the order given by the sergeant or the lieutenant which appear at the end of the song. His British English accent is somewhat fascinating to me.
Hello Hans, no such thing as a British accent. Britain is a United Kingdom of three countries (sort of) and one principality and each of those units have wildly varying accents and dialects, Southern English have problems understanding Northern English, East Coast Scots sound different to the West Coast Scots, the Northern Welsh speak totally different to the Valleys Welsh and nobody understands the Scouse.

I remember the Falklands War very cleatly. The USN relieved Royal Navy Frigates, Destroyers, & Aircraft Carriers from their NATO patrols so that they could support the British Invasion Fleet.
I remember that our American military was formed and built upon the British Royal Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force traditions and organization!!!
The US's strategic situation is roughly the same as the UK's, latter being a highly industrialised ex-superpower on an island that can focus on its navy, former being a highly industrialised superpower on a continent with very few enemies (and those that are are too weak to challenge it)
Thus logically a focus on the navy and air force while maintaining a small but professional army works/worked excellent for both
Plus historically naval power had always been a more useful investment over land power
I like to think of it more as a liberation fleet
I still like how the US military uses the British navy Salute

Deberías leer historia y despues hablar.
Lets'be 100% honest - the bloody Argies had absolutely no feckin chance or winning..............
If they'd had the foresight to extend the runway at Stanley, they could have made a serious mess of our task force; probably would have won the war... 100% honest.
You don't know the half of it. They had five air launched exocet missiles and only five aircraft capable of launching them. With that meagre number, they managed three hits on two British ships after a round journey of 1000 miles. Both ships were destroyed. Thank our lucky stars that five was all they had.
They had a very good chance of winning actually, that's partially what made the Falklands such a significant victory.
it was teenagers vrs paratroopers and marines..... OOF
The tipping point was landing the troops....until that point it was a close run thing....Atlantic Conveyor....Sheffield and Coventry...but once the troops where on the beachhead in San Carlos....then it became personal with one result...
From a time I remember WELL when I was proud to be British, not ashamed!! And a leader to be proud of instead of a bloody crook!! . RULE BRITANNIA!!!!

End of. Rule britania 🇬🇧
I am reminded of a quote by Admiral Cunningham during the operation to evacuate Allied forces from Crete. The Royal Navy was taking a belting from Nazi land-based air attacks from Greece (made by planes that had been shot out of the sky during the Battle of Britain - but no British fighters over Crete to speak of). With 19 ships lost and many wondering if they could continue, Cunningham said "It takes three years to build a warship, but 300 to build a tradition - we are not letting the Army down". - and they didn't. Only the Brits could have pulled that off because they know how to bite the bullet and press on regardless. All three (four if you count the Marines as a separate service) contributed. It was, as Wellington said of Waterloo - 'a close run thing'. The Argentine Air Force in particular performed to the max.
only the brits can do stuff like that.... sovietunion did even more unthinkable stuff and survived past 1941, which nobody belived it could hold on.
Meanwhile over in the Pacific, the IJN were throwing the IJA's equipment and supplies off their destroyers at the first sight of enemy aircraft to move quicker, while the IJA refused to intercept enemy fighters because "they're over water, it's the navy's problem."
Waterloo was an EU type of war against France.
British one among many.
That was THEN, not NOW! 😂

Those argies killing the same number of british soldiers on combat. Remember that the cowards sank a ship on the Argentine shore, which was outside the war zone. but in combat, the deaths are the same or more for the British. They even concealed HMS Invincible after the last Argentine attack. If we did not intervene to force our puppets in Argentina to surrender, the Air Force of that country would have killed them all and today they would be without that colony. Long live America and nothing more!
We Yanks have long known that tune as The Ballad of New Orleans, the story of a little scrap with had with you people back in 1815. The story it tells is, of course, completely historically accurate. My favorite verse goes:
We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.
Or The Battle of Kookamonga if you're a Homer and Jethro fan.
Where a troop of Boy Scouts finds a Troop of Girl Scouts.
@@egadgo I am unfamiliar with that, but it sounds like fun.

Apart from I Am Sailing and Dont Cry For Me Argentina I completely missed out on patriotic music from the Falklands war. It merited a symphony once it was over.
Unfortunately, the argentine soldiers paid for a regime trying to divert attention away from domestic politics. I dislike Thatcherism, however, full credit to Mrs T. whom gave us back some of our lost credit, When Harold Wilson tried to negotiate. (Talks on board HMS Tiger) indeed Rule Britannia and God Save The Queen.
The story is that Thatcher wanted to back off, allow Argentina to annex the islands. It was the British senior military commander who had himself immediately driven to see her and insisted that if we did not respond to liberate the islands then the question must be asked of what was the purpose of of a military? He made clear that the military had the capacity to succeed. Under that threat Thatcher had no political alternative than to so order the military and so began the political spin that elevated her to the hero of the hour.
@@petergosden1 Stick to 'The Facts'
I hope the negotiations consisted of, "Get out before we kick you out." Was he acting for HM government, or on his own hook?
@@Hartley_Hare Yes, of course. Britain's proper response would have been to do nothing. Thatcher only sent the troops for political advantage, and the poor people living in the Falklands aren't worth a fig.
