I member year 1982 in the former Yugoslavia, even though Britain was on the other side of the Iron Curtain, we all supported the British in the war with Argentina. God save the Queen. Respect from Slovenia.
Thats interesting and very surprising to hear. At the time we thought all you guys hated us, so glad to hear it wasn't true. Respect to you and Slovenia 👍🏻.
@@adrianh332 Hi, we Slovenians, never hated British people. We still remember that we were ln the same side during WW II. Argentina, on the other hand, helped nazi criminals and other nazi supporters from all over the world. My grandpa was partisan during WW iII, and i still remember that he helped US snd UK pilots who bombed nazi infrasttucturr, becsuse Gerrmans would killed them, if they find them. With respect from Slovenia.
While visiting Buenos Aires years ago, I met a priest who was a chaplain of the argentinian forces during the conflict. He told me ALL the british troops behaved impeccable well and were truly gentlemen.
"General, were you surprised… at the speed it took you to reach Stanley?" "No, I don't think I was surprised, clearly, the enemy was surprised." Bloody immortal.
@@copferthat Horse shit. Either a deliberate lie or a colossal degree of naiveté. Argentina has a long tradition of authoritarianism; for decades before the junta, Argentine children were taught in school that the Malvinas had been stolen and were unlawfully occupied. A supermajority of Argentinians wanted the Malvinas back, and were thrilled to see the British "defeated". "Rentamobs" in a military controlled country, lololololol
Thank you Siddik i know war is pointless over all but you must help others. Which we and commonwealth countries did some things in our past are not so good then that was another time. But then your Country went to war with us and gave many lives to save many others never forgotten
I remember when we guarded Gen Menendez under house arrest in Port Stanley after the surrender, he requested his own armed body guards so that they could protect him from his own troops. Of course we allowed him that because you can imagine the crap that would have hit the fan if we British let his own troops see him off ! It was a bizarre situation. I can recall standing outside his house, guarding his body guards who were guarding him from his own !
The Argentinians were 'fighting for the Islands', the British were 'fighting for the Islanders' that is why we won....My thoughts go out to the bravest British soldiers that we owe everything to...And a thought and a prayer for the brave Argentinian soldiers as well...
@@skeletorex That will only happen if the islander's want to accept you. It's been almost 200 year's. Generations ago. Get over it or understand that you must fight for the islander's, not fight for the islands, for you will be doomed to failure unless you understand that. Brute Force is not a possibility. Only with democracy can it be changed. The Islander's allegiance is to Britain not Argentina. Therefore only through politics can this be changed. We won't put up with the Islander's being invaded again. Referring to time like you did, 200 years almost and you's won't get over it.
@@carinajauregui9383 it's obvious the island is either British, French or Spanish. Never Argentinian though. Hell the prior three had all claimed them before Argentina existed as we know it. Then the British held it since. The people there are as British as Wales.
@@carinajauregui9383 So glad to read your heartfelt apology for your invasion of our territory, and your recognition that the Falklands are forever British territory.
My Twin brother was there during the war; being a Royal Marine Commando, I was there end of 85 with the British Army, I was pleased it was summer time!!!
Yes the current crop of politically motivated and opiniated so called journalists wouldn't recognise real journalism like this if it slapped them in their over paid privileged faces!
Argentine soldiers were not ashamed to surrender as they knew that they were not going to me mistreated and even in defeat they would be treated with human dignity and respect.
Argentine soldiers went with love for the country and with courage. Kids who were barely 18 years old and who shouldn't have been there. The weapons were very bad and useless, they were expired. Even so they still fought and that is why we will remember them.
Argentinian soldiers at least knew being a POW wasn't a bad idea, fuck the British gave them hot food and good shelter. Argentinian soldiers were only eating cold food during the war
@MichaelKingsfordGray regardless if you believe in God, the speech was bloody brilliant. How can it be wrong to say that "remember what was dearest to you when your life could've ended"
The English patriotism is very uplifting which is very sensible also in these pictures. It was Great victory a Great liberation! There are two nations, people’s who can be characterized as: who cannot be subjugated! The Soviet (which includes the Russian people) and the English people. The fact that Napoleon, Hitler etc. was unable to oppress them is not exponible only with the fact that it’s very hard to cross the channel and Russia/Soviet Union is very „big” - in my opinion -. The English and Soviet inc. Russian people has something like harder will then diamond, if the Motherland is in danger, in that situation they put everything aside and go on together for the common sacred purpose. Glory to the liberators of the Falkland Islands! Mr. Steve Johnson, Thank you for uploading these videos! Greetings’ from Hungary!
The Scots Guards fought their best, the 5th Marine infantry battalion on the capture of Mt Tumbledown. They never received the recognition they deserved & are forgotten or worse, not acknowledged by too many. The 5th MBI practiced night fighting for a month prior to the British landings, they were tough determined soldiers & it took nearly 12 hours for the Guards to break them down. The Scots Guards lost 8 men, the Argentinians 30+
The words spoken by Padre Cooper are nothing short of magnificent. I would have loved to have him as my Chaplain in Iraq. Our guy wasn’t bad but he lacked the beautiful charm and eloquence of this gentleman.
Ours was Frank Collins who was on the Iranian embassy job as a 21 year old, the youngest regiment man on the job. Sadly he gassed himself in his car a while back after he'd been removed from us for writing his book. A great man and not your atypical man of the cloth. I found they were 2 types, the ram it down your throat type or the ones who don't force it but do a brilliant job for morale. Not many atheists in a fighting position
+MacEachainn Just like the British Government were the good guys in getting rid of Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein in Libya, Syria and Iraq, starting bloody civil wars in the name of Freedom (all really in the name of petrol), in which hundreds of thousands of innocent women and children have been killed at the hands of the US-British New World Order.
Pablo Nero what are you talking about? Getting rid of Gaddafi and Saddam didn't start the civil wars, the UK didn't even get rid of Gaddaffi that was the people rising up. As for Iraq the civil war only started in 2014 after the UK and US had left and handed over to the Iraq army but yeah it was our fault.
+MacEachainn You must be a young school age kid. Watch "The Iraq War From The Frontline" on youtube and then come back and tell me the British aren't part of the New Evil Empire in the form of the New World Order and didn't start the civil war in Iraq beween Shiites and Sunnis by removing Saddam Hussein who had kept a tight lid on the situation just like Gaddafi in Libya and Assad in Syria. Face it, the current bloodbath in the Middle East is because of petrol and the US-British intervention.
way back in 1992 I was at a reception here in Stanley, where Maggie and General Moore both gave a speech. What will always stay with me was a mini bollocking from Maggie at 3 of us in the crowd, as she passed us she stumbled on a beer bottle or something...she told us to 'clear this mess up!' ...absolutely priceless!
I think it is a great shame that a dictatorship took Argentina to war and that we were compelled to fight and defeat them in order to restore democracy. I think it was absolutely the right thing to do, but so entirely needless in the first place. That’s why I feel great sorrow at the loss of life on both sides. And just for your information, I am an officer in the Royal Navy and I have been to the Falkland Islands on patrol in 2005. I’ve seen the battlefields and been up tumbledown. It’s a sobering experience and all the blustering armchair generals here need to grow up a little and discover some humanity inside themselves about what was an exceptionally sad affair, when all is said and done.
Thank you for what you did and really, thank you for such an enlightened and true comment. This war was totally unnecessary but caused by the junta. Sad that some idiot in a capital caused a war.
Literally everything we have today, our very nations, freedoms, even language depended on a war, at some stage. Whining and complaining about the waste, the horror of war really is a moot point because all you enjoy today, your very existence, the way of life, culture, civilization depended on frankly a war, at some stage. For example, had the Battle of Vienna been lost, or the Battle of Tours, Europe would be Islamic today. To me, those were great victories and wars well worth the fight and price. I am proud of my European ancestors for what they did to save Europe from an Islamic hell. I am not pro-war, but understand reality and sometimes one has no option but to fight or die.
Geralt of Rivia Of course you don’t have the option sometimes between fighting or dying or even fighting AND dying as it happens, but I don’t see things such as civilisation as being dependent on or created by war, rather that they are influenced and shaped by wars. Civilisations aren’t created from wars, because wars don’t create anything in and of themselves; it’s an illogical thing to expect war to produce. It can only eliminate or rule out certain things or directions of travel. It can’t create. Take for example the outcome of this war. Democracy was restored, but the sum total was a loss of life. The essential payment was a loss and the net result was restoration of a pre existing situation. The alternative would have been another loss, the subjugation and eradication of the islanders and the settlement there. So the war stood to produce two outcomes one way or another, but both were losses in the final reckoning. Like surgery that removes living tissue to save the life of the body that it’s connected to, war can’t put anything living back in place of what it removes; it can only stop the rot or spread of disease by cutting out the illness or stitching the wound.
to attack a prepared position one must expect 4 losses for 1 defender but somehow they lost 1 attacker for twice the wankers (not their fault, they were kids), poor guys who fixed bayonets and went mental and won! utter heroes x
+spitroastfor8 Yes but the Brits did not have the courage to assault the Argie positions without first flattening them with 50,000 field & naval artillery & mortar rounds (like the 2,000 mortar shells that saturated Darwin Ridge & the 6,000 field artillery shells needed to take Wireless Ridge).
There wasn't much artillery fire on Goose Green, and the British infantry went through the Argentine defensive positions like knife through butter. There is no excuse, there can be only one conclusion and that is that the British troops were superior.
Las tropas de infantería británica eran mejores, pero siempre atacaron con superioridad numérica local en todos los casos. No se dejen guiar por números totales, sino por los específicos de ataque a cada posición argentina.
Yup, imperialism is unacceptable. I presume, therefore, that the Argentines will drop their imperialistic claim to the Falkland Islands and then evacuate Argentina itself for their ancestral homelands in Spain, Italy and elsewhere in Europe leaving the Pampas to their original inhabitants..
+Julie & Mark A. I agree as long as your miliitary allies in the form of Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand and Chile do the same thing and we turn back the clock and leave Britain alone to fight the Second World War and the Falkands.
Kimberly Williams So many falsehoods in your diatribe. I will restrict myself to correcting you on two. Firstly the Royal Household takes money from no pockets. No taxes are used to cover its expenses. The Household is funded by 15% of the income of the Duchy of Lancaster. Secondly, the Falklands were British long before Argentina was established by Spanish and Italian settlers who pushed the natives off their land. If you are suggesting that the map of the world should revert to the way it looked in 1690, well I would like to warn you that quite a few people might be upset at the prospect.
En realidad Las Malvinas siempre estuvieron bajo la soberanía española, y luego argentina. Los británicos se establecieron en unos pocos años en la isla que ellos llaman Pebble (creo), pero luego fueron expulsados por los españoles en 1770. Y luego se fueron en 1774. La Argentina es sucesora legal de España, bajo varios nombres, Provincias Unidas, Confederación Argentina y República Argentina. Es lo mismo que ocurre con el Reino Unido, cuando ocupa las Malvinas creo que no figuraba Irlanda en el título del país, pero todos sabemos quienes son.
The British claim that Argies planted field guns among the civilian houses during the fighting is all BS. Study the military maps and you''ll see that the 3rd Artillery Group was placed in and around Moody Brook Valley while the 4th Airborne Artillery Group was placed in and around Stanley Racecourse. The 155mm guns were positioned on the slopes of Sapper Hill.
Not true. The only three civillians dead at war were victims of british fire. And there were not argies around. Argentine soldiers threated the local population with deep respect. Argentine marines had orders of no Killing soldiers or civillians when they attacked the Falklands un 1982. And so they did. Not a single murder nor rape. Remember what the occupation forces in Irak or Afghanistan do to local population in many cases. Excuse me for My Bad English. Respect and regards from Argentina. Had family members in the war.
Profoundly Deaf they did, they had Anti-air guns stationed around civilian houses and they painted buildings that housed troops and Ammo with red crosses, so they wouldn’t be targeted
As an Argentine myself I would like to say some things. 1. War was a mistake, most stupid mistake that Argentina ever made in terms of intrernational politics. (And we have done really stupid mistakes in this country, so that is a deep low) 2. The falklands/malvinas islanders already made it clear that they prefer being ruled by british. And yes, we can argue about who owned the land 150 years ago, but honestly makes no sense at this point. And even if some believe Argentina deserves to rule the islands right now, aside from what locals want, war was stupid, Argentinian goverment should realized that trying to war against a experienced country like British with such old weapons, bad training for ground forces and everything against the odds was stupid as minimum. Let's be realistic, aside from who owned the islands 150 years ago, the islanders obviously feel more friendly to british, and the stupid war only increased that feeling for sure (basically we fucked it up even more) 3. As Argentine myself, I am patriotic about my country a bit. But don't make the mistake of thinking that goverment is the same thing as the country and its people for me. I dislike all argentine goverments since soooo long. And I do respect anyone who was in the battlefield, british soldiers were fighting for what the believed it was correct, and some young near teen argentinians did too, even if they were brainwashed by the goverment, you must understand that they were between eighteen to twenty years old sometimes, naive and really young. Even if you hate Argentinian goverment for what they did, at least respect the soldiers... as some veterans do by themselves eachother: both, british people and argentinian people, should learn about the veterans instead of hating people who we don't even know. If some of them were able to forgive their enemy and respect eachother, we should try to. Respect from Argentina to anyone reading this.
In 1982 just before the Falklands conflict loomed, I left the merchant navy. A month later my ship, a RO RO was requisitioned by the British Government and joined the task force, with my relief onboard. Thankfully, though being under attack, both ship and my friend survived and returned home safely. In 1992, I rejoined the merchant navy as a radio officer - my first ship was the Norland. It came as a surprise when on board to learn of its sterling service in the Falklands war. I have great respect for all those who shipped south, not knowing if they would come back. As for myself, I considered myself extremely lucky, lucky that my leave was due and did not find myself caught up in such a bitter conflict.
i served 14 yrs in the UNITED STATES Marine Corps, and am very glad the Brits , esp Royal Marines, are now are allies , cause they are the last fighting force i would want to face. i grew up as an american child watching this war on tv and found the warfighting extremely interesting and very important world history.
My hat's off to 3 Bde. I went down with 5 Bde, as a 'Loggy'. I was cold and wet too, but wasn't expected to 'engage the enemy'. The lads that liberated the Islands deserve massive respect. Well done chaps. And I want to that the Padre for his words.
The people, not their barbaric empire. They executed some wounded soldiers, killed 3 islanders and destroyed the Bolivian economy because they helped Argentina
@scaraboo3624 No proof of any executions, and the friendly fire was accidental. Argentina on the other hand forcibly displaced islanders from their homes, threatened them, and trapped bombs to toys.
Although it hurts, I am very grateful that Argentina is surrendered, I would not have liked that Buenos Aires ends as Hiroshima, I am very sorry for the loss of both sides
What is most depressing is the Anglo-Argentine relationship, today - thirty six years later. Contrast it with the Anglo-German relationship: within a decade of WW2, we were NATO allies, educational, cultural and trading partners, sporting rivals that were building a constructive future. We read here, all the "What ifs" in the conflict - What if these 2 democracies had reconciled themselves in the intervening years? The answer must surely have been peace and prosperity; this dysfunctional relationship (except the sport of Polo and the odd bottle of Malbec) is depressing!
I put to you, the relationship between Germany and the UK, after WW1. Considerably colder than after WW2. Losing a war does that. It breeds terrible resentment. It happens when the people of a defeated nation still consider that victory would have been justified. Father to sons, teacher to students. But with each new generation this is slowly going away. Argentina is a country of moral infants. Slowly growing up. This is undeniable. The terror attack against the jews in Argentina and their appauling response... Brazil however, most people never supported Argentinian ambition. It's the country where all the nazis went to hide... It's one sick puppy. Terrible place...

Local fireman Lewis Clifton describes how the sanitation system of Port Stanley broke under the strain of accommodating & processing 1000s of British soldiers & Argie POWs suffering from diarrhea: "The place just couldn't take it. There was only sporadic electricity and water and the sanitation system collapsed. The streets were ankle-deep in human waste. The stench was awful, really awful, and we were all suffering from what we called Galtieri's revenge. He lost the war but left us ill." (Occupation of the Falkland Islands, WIKIPEDIA)
You can see how if you were to experience something like this first hand how important camaraderie is and how squadies stick together even after life in the military. A shared struggle which civilians would never understand. Respect to these brave soldiers.
I remember this all unfolding while at secondary school, our history teacher let us watch the news and read the papers in class. It was surreal, Britain at war in my lifetime...very strange. Of course we have other conflicts since but, to be so young and the only other wars/conflicts were told by grandparents , uncles etc. Later in life I read and watched about the Falklands again and was shocked really at how the Argentinian troops looked after surrendering. They didn't want to be there, just conscripted lads with basic training and a officer corps that was, in some places, rotten in how it treated the them. The Junta gambled and failed in that the UK would do nothing...professional soldiers through and through. I have spoken to many US soldiers who served with UK forces and all have said they would work with and fight with British soldiers any time and knew they could depend on them in a firefight also they had a very high respect for UK officers. As has been stated, many Argentinian people are/were good and were treated with fear under terrible governments for many years...the Falklands was one too many. Although the democratic governments in power still rattle their sabres over the Falkland islands at times, I think a lesson has been learned...leave alone.
To be fair to the Argie officers & NCOs, Lieutenant Chris Caroe from X-Ray Coy 45 Commando spoke highly of them when he explained that although the defenders his platoon encountered on Southern Two Sisters were mainly conscripts “they were a force to be reckoned with because they were led by skilled regulars.” www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/chester-cheshire-news/ex-marine-chris-caroe-chester-recalls-5179719 Lieutenant Clive Dytor whose platoon took part in the fighting for the Northern Two Sisters confirms this view when he mistook the ordinary conscripts and NCOs for hardened enemy marines, “The Argentine marines all fought to the end and were killed with bullets and bayonets. We had to fight through lots of positions, clearing the enemy." web.archive.org/web/20120427180020/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/falklandislands/9164691/Falklands-War-hero-explains-why-he-entered-the-church-after-being-awarded-the-Military-Cross.html
@@vivaseineldin I do agree, many were very good soldiers led by well trained regulars and NCO's and officers. However, I do think that many Argentine soldiers felt bewildered and unsure of what to do. You look at the faces of the surrendering UK troops at Government house, disappointment, humiliation yet a steely look in their eyes that this wasn't over. The same look in the eyes of the Argentine troops and officers does not show the same-they look defeated. I have read that, the same as you that many UK soldiers, pilots, officers, naval personnel all said that they admired the resistance that was given and the bravery shown.
@@eddiesolo1971 The great problem of the war is that Argentina only planned the recapture of the islands, and a hypothetical subsequent negotiation. It was never thought of going to war against the United Kingdom. That is why the total improvisation of the defense, and the fact of sending troops from a subtropical zone to a place with a sub-Antarctic climate. The troops in principle were "symbolic" and were not intended to fight. Even the III Infantry Brigade crossed to the islands without their heavy equipment.
pickneydem yes friend , they should , just to clean the earth of some scambags trying to do something stupid, like throwing themselves against mortal machine gun fire
Man for man the British produce THE best, most effective and bravest soldiers .Thats how we took over 1/3 of the world with a country the size of New York. But hand to hand combat is in the past and makes us as about effective as Sweden now. But id just love no war again and full bellies for all.
What he says at 4:05 sums up why Britain rarely loses wars while always maintaining an image of being weak and unprepared. They throw together whatever they can find in the garden shed to keep the enemy at bay, make deals and alliances with the right people and quietly but effectively undermine their enemies while waiting for their arrogance to get the better of them. They understand the pitfalls of this arrogance from firsthand experience - when they were at the height of their power they used to suffer embarrassing defeats as well.
LONDON (AP) _ Britain would not have recaptured the Falkland Islands from Argentina in 1982 without U.S. military assistance, former U.S. Navy Secretary John Lehman was quoted Sunday as saying. In a British Broadcasting Corp. television interview to be broadcast Wednesday night, Lehman also says U.S. involvement in the Falklands war led indirectly to the Irangate scandal, the Observer newspaper reported. The weekly said Lehman’s interview will be included in the latest episode of ″An Ocean Apart,″ a BBC documentary series on British-American relations. ″Britain would have had to have withdraw from the Falklands″ if the Reagan administration withheld support, it quoted Lehman as saying. U.S. military aid in the 74-day war, in which Britain recaptured the South Atlantic archipelago from invading Argentine forces, has been a closely guarded secret, the Observer said. ″Lehman is the first senior U.S. official to claim that the Pentagon’s supplies of intelligence and material were so great as to have been decisive,″ it said.
An argie general wrote a letter of thanks for bringing down the brutal junta, who to tortured and dropped into the ocean 1000 plus people in Argentina.
I think it was criminal of the Argentine leadership to send those young conscripts in there like that. Surely their intelligence services must have had some clue of what the professional British forces were going to do when they landed in the Falklands. Those conscripts never stood a chance. But one thing is for sure... credit where credit is due...the Argentine naval and air force pilots showed their metal. I've read that as far as they were concerned, their mission was to save their comrades on the ground and they sure fought hard. Hats off.
Argie conscripts forced two Para companies to retreat in the morning fighting at Goose Green. Argie conscripts also forced 3 PARA to retreat halfway through the Battle of Mount Longdon.
The Junta didn't really expect Britain to fight at all. They thought the invasion would force some kind of negotiated settlement that would eventually give them sovereignty of the Islands. By the time they realised their mistake it was too late to withdraw their troops, Argentine public opinion made that politically impossible. So they found themselves fighting a war that they just weren't mentally prepared for and couldn't cope with.

@EddieExile but the "tiny" carriers hold two complete squadrons of Harriers less than 100 miles from the islands, moving to a different location at the end of each day, thus making then untracebale, whilst the argentinian bases where fixed airstrips at triple the distance always having the same attack pattern and only permitting 10 minutes of operational flight over the island for their combat jets.
In the early 2000's I traveled briefly through Argentina, loved it, very friendly people, and wish them no ill will. However, in 1982, they didn't know who they were fucking with. Tip of the hat to all the lads who gave their lives or were maimed in a just cause.
Argentines generally like the British. We have no personal problem with them. There is a part of the Argentine territory usurped by the United Kingdom since 1833. That is a serious political problem.
@@carinajauregui9383 Surely Argentina only came into being as a nation in 1861 after period of war. How can it yours if you didn't exist when Britain came to the islands. just because you're close to place does not make yours.
@@alanjjeff It's a misunderstanding. Argentina had its first government of its own from May 25, 1810, and declared its independence (a formality) on July 9, 1816. You confuse the existence of Argentina with the consolidation of a National State (in case you are interested , that was achieved only in 1880) For what interests us, Argentina existed at the time the British usurped the Malvinas on January 3, 1833, and the Argentine flag was lowered, not another.
@@carinajauregui9383 But that 1810 declaration was not for the Argentina but open the fight for the creation of Argentina. Its formal creation was not internationally accepted until 1861 when the country became a federation along the borders recognised today. This did not exercise a claim for the Falkland islands/ las Malvinas. The British claim to sovereignty dates from 1690, when they made the first recorded landing on the islands. Spain did make claims that the Falkland Islands were to held under provisions in the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht which settled the limits of the Spanish Empire in the Americas. However, the treaty only promised to restore the territories in the Americas held prior to the War of the Spanish Succession. The Falkland Islands was not held by Spain at the time and were not mentioned in the treaty. This treaty would be the sole claim by Spain and its successors that could be considered. But as the island were already claimed by Britain this 1713 Spanish claim failed. You may feel that Viceroyalty of the River Plate claimed the Falklands in 1811 but whilst this covered part of Argentina it was not a pre-argentine government and its claim was based on the previous Spanish Claim.
@@alanjjeff Hello Alan. Some corrections: Argentina was recognized by the United Kingdom in 1825 (by the way, your country did not make any reservations about the Malvinas where Argentina already exercised sovereignty) Argentina took formal possession of the islands on November 6, 1820 without any formal complaint from the United Kingdom (which, as I told you, 5 years later recognized Argentine independence) The British claim to FULL sovereignty over the islands dates back to 1829. Until that time the British only claimed Pebble and Saunders Islands. In 1690 James Strong landed on the islands, BUT DID NOT CLAIM SOVEREIGNTY (that is a recent invention of British propagandists) Spain has always exercised control of its possessions, including the Austral Sea (South Atlantic). Utrecht only recognized the Spanish sphere of influence (supported by the British who did not want the French to interfere in the Spanish Empire now that the same royal family ruled in both countries) The United Kingdom did not claim the islands, but settled in Port Egmont in 1765, but the French were already in Port Luis (1764), and recognized Spanish sovereignty in 1766. In short, the British were late to claim possession, and late to claim sovereign rights. Greetings
I agree. It was what he had said in his memoirs, and I was just reporting on this. But to give him his due, he's one of the few veterens who would openly admit that maybe what they were doing was something very wrong. That perhaps they shouldn't be there. That the Falklands are the home and domain of the Falklanders. And I take my hat off to him for that at least. In Argentina that's a very brave thing to do.

argentain soldiers were actually 18 y/o boys who were forced to fight because we were on a dictatorship, if you didn't want to fight they will kill you and your family. These "freaking disgusting" argentain soldiers never used a weapon before, because they weren't trained to fight.

@burnley5960 I have actually been in one of their camps! Its between Mendoza and the chile near Puente Del Inca in the Andes. Wed been mountaineering and I had some er `abdominal pains` and needed a Doc. The camp was just up the road. The main gate we had passed weeks before had a huge gate with 2 huge very old fk off machine guns and guards looking down, but the first entrance we came to up the road was an unmanned barrier and a road so we used that. Bout 200 yds further on we turned left....
In 1953 I was serving in the flagship of the American and West Indies squadron. a light cruiser. An Argentine frigate was reported as sniffing around the Falklands so we had to go down there to chase them away. They wisely legged it pretty quickly after it was made known that we were on our way and we sat in the harbour at Port Stanley for a couple of weeks just in case they came back.

The Soviet (which includes the Russian people) and the English people.

The English and Soviet inc.

Pablo Nero what are you talking about? Getting rid of Gaddafi and Saddam didn't start the civil wars, the UK didn't even get rid of Gaddaffi that was the people rising up.

+MacEachainn You must be a young school age kid.

Face it, the current bloodbath in the Middle East is because of petrol and the US-British intervention.
Love British officers understated way of talking, we jolly well had to winkle them out lol
way back in 1992 I was at a reception here in Stanley, where Maggie and General Moore both gave a speech.

I think it is a great shame that a dictatorship took Argentina to war and that we were compelled to fight and defeat them in order to restore democracy. I think it was absolutely the right thing to do, but so entirely needless in the first place. That’s why I feel great sorrow at the loss of life on both sides. And just for your information, I am an officer in the Royal Navy and I have been to the Falkland Islands on patrol in 2005. I’ve seen the battlefields and been up tumbledown. It’s a sobering experience and all the blustering armchair generals here need to grow up a little and discover some humanity inside themselves about what was an exceptionally sad affair, when all is said and done.
Thank you for what you did and really, thank you for such an enlightened and true comment. This war was totally unnecessary but caused by the junta. Sad that some idiot in a capital caused a war.
who would have thought that I'd find someone making sense in this sea of stupid and sometimes plain racist comments, I thought I was the only one
Literally everything we have today, our very nations, freedoms, even language depended on a war, at some stage. Whining and complaining about the waste, the horror of war really is a moot point because all you enjoy today, your very existence, the way of life, culture, civilization depended on frankly a war, at some stage. For example, had the Battle of Vienna been lost, or the Battle of Tours, Europe would be Islamic today. To me, those were great victories and wars well worth the fight and price. I am proud of my European ancestors for what they did to save Europe from an Islamic hell. I am not pro-war, but understand reality and sometimes one has no option but to fight or die.
Geralt of Rivia Of course you don’t have the option sometimes between fighting or dying or even fighting AND dying as it happens, but I don’t see things such as civilisation as being dependent on or created by war, rather that they are influenced and shaped by wars. Civilisations aren’t created from wars, because wars don’t create anything in and of themselves; it’s an illogical thing to expect war to produce. It can only eliminate or rule out certain things or directions of travel. It can’t create. Take for example the outcome of this war. Democracy was restored, but the sum total was a loss of life. The essential payment was a loss and the net result was restoration of a pre existing situation. The alternative would have been another loss, the subjugation and eradication of the islanders and the settlement there. So the war stood to produce two outcomes one way or another, but both were losses in the final reckoning. Like surgery that removes living tissue to save the life of the body that it’s connected to, war can’t put anything living back in place of what it removes; it can only stop the rot or spread of disease by cutting out the illness or stitching the wound.
George Morley yeah, the Argentina’s government wanted to distract everyone from their economic issues by invading the falklands
to attack a prepared position one must expect 4 losses for 1 defender but somehow they lost 1 attacker for twice the wankers (not their fault, they were kids), poor guys who fixed bayonets and went mental and won! utter heroes x
+spitroastfor8 Yes but the Brits did not have the courage to assault the Argie positions without first flattening them with 50,000 field & naval artillery & mortar rounds (like the 2,000 mortar shells that saturated Darwin Ridge & the 6,000 field artillery shells needed to take Wireless Ridge).
There wasn't much artillery fire on Goose Green, and the British infantry went through the Argentine defensive positions like knife through butter. There is no excuse, there can be only one conclusion and that is that the British troops were superior.
Jens Danbolt lmao, but actually of Great Britain won this war this already mean they're army is superior in the first place
Las tropas de infantería británica eran mejores, pero siempre atacaron con superioridad numérica local en todos los casos. No se dejen guiar por números totales, sino por los específicos de ataque a cada posición argentina.
+Ramon Esperanza It doesn't matter. If we can make a win easier, why would we not?
And the Argie's are still butthurt over it.
Yup, imperialism is unacceptable. I presume, therefore, that the Argentines will drop their imperialistic claim to the Falkland Islands and then evacuate Argentina itself for their ancestral homelands in Spain, Italy and elsewhere in Europe leaving the Pampas to their original inhabitants..

Kimberly Williams So many falsehoods in your diatribe. I will restrict myself to correcting you on two. Firstly the Royal Household takes money from no pockets. No taxes are used to cover its expenses. The Household is funded by 15% of the income of the Duchy of Lancaster. Secondly, the Falklands were British long before Argentina was established by Spanish and Italian settlers who pushed the natives off their land. If you are suggesting that the map of the world should revert to the way it looked in 1690, well I would like to warn you that quite a few people might be upset at the prospect.
En realidad Las Malvinas siempre estuvieron bajo la soberanía española, y luego argentina. Los británicos se establecieron en unos pocos años en la isla que ellos llaman Pebble (creo), pero luego fueron expulsados por los españoles en 1770. Y luego se fueron en 1774. La Argentina es sucesora legal de España, bajo varios nombres, Provincias Unidas, Confederación Argentina y República Argentina. Es lo mismo que ocurre con el Reino Unido, cuando ocupa las Malvinas creo que no figuraba Irlanda en el título del país, pero todos sabemos quienes son.
Germany apologised for the war and yet Argentina hasn’t despite painting crosses on military assets and using civilians as human shields
The British claim that Argies planted field guns among the civilian houses during the fighting is all BS. Study the military maps and you''ll see that the 3rd Artillery Group was placed in and around Moody Brook Valley while the 4th Airborne Artillery Group was placed in and around Stanley Racecourse. The 155mm guns were positioned on the slopes of Sapper Hill.
Profoundly Deaf what
Profoundly Deaf and dumb
Not true. The only three civillians dead at war were victims of british fire. And there were not argies around.
Argentine soldiers threated the local population with deep respect.
Argentine marines had orders of no Killing soldiers or civillians when they attacked the Falklands un 1982. And so they did.
Not a single murder nor rape. Remember what the occupation forces in Irak or Afghanistan do to local population in many cases.
Excuse me for My Bad English. Respect and regards from Argentina.
Had family members in the war.
Profoundly Deaf they did, they had Anti-air guns stationed around civilian houses and they painted buildings that housed troops and Ammo with red crosses, so they wouldn’t be targeted
As an Argentine myself I would like to say some things.
1. War was a mistake, most stupid mistake that Argentina ever made in terms of intrernational politics. (And we have done really stupid mistakes in this country, so that is a deep low)
2. The falklands/malvinas islanders already made it clear that they prefer being ruled by british. And yes, we can argue about who owned the land 150 years ago, but honestly makes no sense at this point. And even if some believe Argentina deserves to rule the islands right now, aside from what locals want, war was stupid, Argentinian goverment should realized that trying to war against a experienced country like British with such old weapons, bad training for ground forces and everything against the odds was stupid as minimum. Let's be realistic, aside from who owned the islands 150 years ago, the islanders obviously feel more friendly to british, and the stupid war only increased that feeling for sure (basically we fucked it up even more)
3. As Argentine myself, I am patriotic about my country a bit. But don't make the mistake of thinking that goverment is the same thing as the country and its people for me. I dislike all argentine goverments since soooo long. And I do respect anyone who was in the battlefield, british soldiers were fighting for what the believed it was correct, and some young near teen argentinians did too, even if they were brainwashed by the goverment, you must understand that they were between eighteen to twenty years old sometimes, naive and really young. Even if you hate Argentinian goverment for what they did, at least respect the soldiers... as some veterans do by themselves eachother: both, british people and argentinian people, should learn about the veterans instead of hating people who we don't even know.
If some of them were able to forgive their enemy and respect eachother, we should try to.
Respect from Argentina to anyone reading this.

In 1982 just before the Falklands conflict loomed, I left the merchant navy. A month later my ship, a RO RO was requisitioned by the British Government and joined the task force, with my relief onboard. Thankfully, though being under attack, both ship and my friend survived and returned home safely. In 1992, I rejoined the merchant navy as a radio officer - my first ship was the Norland. It came as a surprise when on board to learn of its sterling service in the Falklands war. I have great respect for all those who shipped south, not knowing if they would come back. As for myself, I considered myself extremely lucky, lucky that my leave was due and did not find myself caught up in such a bitter conflict.
i served 14 yrs in the UNITED STATES Marine Corps, and am very glad the Brits , esp Royal Marines, are now are allies , cause they are the last fighting force i would want to face.

What is most depressing is the Anglo-Argentine relationship, today - thirty six years later. Contrast it with the Anglo-German relationship: within a decade of WW2, we were NATO allies, educational, cultural and trading partners, sporting rivals that were building a constructive future.
We read here, all the "What ifs" in the conflict - What if these 2 democracies had reconciled themselves in the intervening years? The answer must surely have been peace and prosperity; this dysfunctional relationship (except the sport of Polo and the odd bottle of Malbec) is depressing!
I put to you, the relationship between Germany and the UK, after WW1. Considerably colder than after WW2.
Losing a war does that. It breeds terrible resentment. It happens when the people of a defeated nation still consider that victory would have been justified.

Local fireman Lewis Clifton describes how the sanitation system of Port Stanley broke under the strain of accommodating & processing 1000s of British soldiers & Argie POWs suffering from diarrhea:
"The place just couldn't take it. There was only sporadic electricity and water and the sanitation system collapsed. The streets were ankle-deep in human waste. The stench was awful, really awful, and we were all suffering from what we called Galtieri's revenge. He lost the war but left us ill."

You can see how if you were to experience something like this first hand how important camaraderie is and how squadies stick together even after life in the military. A shared struggle which civilians would never understand. Respect to these brave soldiers.

Fascinating interview - I suppose that this was on News at Ten on 14 June 1982. I have never seen anything like this before - excellent material.
I remember this all unfolding while at secondary school, our history teacher let us watch the news and read the papers in class. It was surreal, Britain at war in my lifetime...very strange. Of course we have other conflicts since but, to be so young and the only other wars/conflicts were told by grandparents , uncles etc.
Later in life I read and watched about the Falklands again and was shocked really at how the Argentinian troops looked after surrendering. They didn't want to be there, just conscripted lads with basic training and a officer corps that was, in some places, rotten in how it treated the them.
The Junta gambled and failed in that the UK would do nothing...professional soldiers through and through. I have spoken to many US soldiers who served with UK forces and all have said they would work with and fight with British soldiers any time and knew they could depend on them in a firefight also they had a very high respect for UK officers.
As has been stated, many Argentinian people are/were good and were treated with fear under terrible governments for many years...the Falklands was one too many. Although the democratic governments in power still rattle their sabres over the Falkland islands at times, I think a lesson has been learned...leave alone.
To be fair to the Argie officers & NCOs, Lieutenant Chris Caroe from X-Ray Coy 45 Commando spoke highly of them when he explained that although the defenders his platoon encountered on Southern Two Sisters were mainly conscripts “they were a force to be reckoned with because they were led by skilled regulars.” www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/chester-cheshire-news/ex-marine-chris-caroe-chester-recalls-5179719
Lieutenant Clive Dytor whose platoon took part in the fighting for the Northern Two Sisters confirms this view when he mistook the ordinary conscripts and NCOs for hardened enemy marines, “The Argentine marines all fought to the end and were killed with bullets and bayonets. We had to fight through lots of positions, clearing the enemy." web.archive.org/web/20120427180020/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/falklandislands/9164691/Falklands-War-hero-explains-why-he-entered-the-church-after-being-awarded-the-Military-Cross.html
@@vivaseineldin I do agree, many were very good soldiers led by well trained regulars and NCO's and officers. However, I do think that many Argentine soldiers felt bewildered and unsure of what to do. You look at the faces of the surrendering UK troops at Government house, disappointment, humiliation yet a steely look in their eyes that this wasn't over. The same look in the eyes of the Argentine troops and officers does not show the same-they look defeated. I have read that, the same as you that many UK soldiers, pilots, officers, naval personnel all said that they admired the resistance that was given and the bravery shown.
@@eddiesolo1971 The great problem of the war is that Argentina only planned the recapture of the islands, and a hypothetical subsequent negotiation. It was never thought of going to war against the United Kingdom. That is why the total improvisation of the defense, and the fact of sending troops from a subtropical zone to a place with a sub-Antarctic climate. The troops in principle were "symbolic" and were not intended to fight. Even the III Infantry Brigade crossed to the islands without their heavy equipment.
Up the British!!
i hope the british army struck home to the argies a lesson about cleanliness
pickneydem yes friend , they should , just to clean the earth of some scambags trying to do something stupid, like throwing themselves against mortal machine gun fire
Man for man the British produce THE best, most effective and bravest soldiers .Thats how we took over 1/3 of the world with a country the size of New York. But hand to hand combat is in the past and makes us as about effective as Sweden now. But id just love no war again and full bellies for all.
What he says at 4:05 sums up why Britain rarely loses wars while always maintaining an image of being weak and unprepared. They throw together whatever they can find in the garden shed to keep the enemy at bay, make deals and alliances with the right people and quietly but effectively undermine their enemies while waiting for their arrogance to get the better of them. They understand the pitfalls of this arrogance from firsthand experience - when they were at the height of their power they used to suffer embarrassing defeats as well.
Very interesting comment.
You wouldnt believe the crap in my garden shed but i reckon it would come in handy if the germans kicked off again
Being ex-army we are used to having shoddy kit,shit officers but we are ingenious,resolute and aim to get the task done.
LONDON (AP) _ Britain would not have recaptured the Falkland Islands from Argentina in 1982 without U.S. military assistance, former U.S. Navy Secretary John Lehman was quoted Sunday as saying.
In a British Broadcasting Corp. television interview to be broadcast Wednesday night, Lehman also says U.S. involvement in the Falklands war led indirectly to the Irangate scandal, the Observer newspaper reported.
The weekly said Lehman’s interview will be included in the latest episode of ″An Ocean Apart,″ a BBC documentary series on British-American relations.
″Britain would have had to have withdraw from the Falklands″ if the Reagan administration withheld support, it quoted Lehman as saying.
U.S. military aid in the 74-day war, in which Britain recaptured the South Atlantic archipelago from invading Argentine forces, has been a closely guarded secret, the Observer said.
″Lehman is the first senior U.S. official to claim that the Pentagon’s supplies of intelligence and material were so great as to have been decisive,″ it said.
what a great sermon by the Para's Padre!
@03Terrestre Well said! All Latinos everywhere, from NYC to Los Angeles to Miami to Bogota to Santiago will back Argentina! Viva America Latina!!
An argie general wrote a letter of thanks for bringing down the brutal junta, who to tortured and dropped into the ocean 1000 plus people in Argentina.
I think it was criminal of the Argentine leadership to send those young conscripts in there like that.
Surely their intelligence services must have had some clue of what the professional British forces were going to do when they landed in the Falklands. Those conscripts never stood a chance.
But one thing is for sure... credit where credit is due...the Argentine naval and air force pilots showed their metal.
I've read that as far as they were concerned, their mission was to save their comrades on the ground and they sure fought hard. Hats off.
Argie conscripts forced two Para companies to retreat in the morning fighting at Goose Green. Argie conscripts also forced 3 PARA to retreat halfway through the Battle of Mount Longdon.
The Junta didn't really expect Britain to fight at all. They thought the invasion would force some kind of negotiated settlement that would eventually give them sovereignty of the Islands. By the time they realised their mistake it was too late to withdraw their troops, Argentine public opinion made that politically impossible. So they found themselves fighting a war that they just weren't mentally prepared for and couldn't cope with.
jugamos sucio...y nos fue mal en Goose Green y Darwin, por eso nos ganó un enemigo muy superior y verdaderamente organizado!!!
No jugamos sucio no fuimos a 15000 km de nuestra tierra a sacarle la isla a otro pais x herencia española son argentinas a 500 km de nuestro territorio
Galtieri: - Estoy lidiando con una pesadilla económica y un creciente malestar civil
No se preocupen chicos, voy a arreglar esto
Lo sé, comenzaré una guerra y seré popular durante dos meses.
Siempre pasa lo mismo....crear una distracción para que el pueblo se olvide de sus problemas internos
At the time of this the British military man for man was the finest military on the planet
They still are
Good Padre, that one.

And a rematch in 1986 with a different outcome lol...
Nice from the padre, read the book from Mike Curtis 'onder vuur' in dutch, it was exactly what he has written, full church and he lost his mate steve. Sad..
Back in the day when it was just a fight, could they imagine the shit we had today, my service was simply walking around Pristina, which to be honest was more enjoyable than being at home, I really wouldn't fancy doing what our lads do today.
We won.
You no
I AGREE WITH YOU THEY ARE THE FACTS WELL SAID.
Democracy, (of a sort) returned to Argentina courtesy of the British forces. They didnt just liberate the islands they gave the Argentinian people their country back...
It was only going to end one way for Diego...
Can't thank these brave. Boys enough. ❤️

At my 6th birthday General Berlgrano was sunk I never understood this war. So much British influence in Argentina.
the argie officers were shooting they own men in the legs to stop them running away. the men that were dug in.
What didn't that horrible fascist government do? They couldn't even be good at war talk about a fail fascism xD. Thanks to Britain for defeating these scum and yet always behaving with such excellent gallantry and discipline. There are lots of groups of armed men out there, there are very few "armies". UK army is always respected. -from Canada.
Did you know it was mostly the Nazi regime responsible for this in Argentina?...descendants of the third Reich from Germany.
@@lifeisa.smalllesson4607 thanks for that Aaron

padre david cooper seems like a very admirable person
America : Its impossible to re-take those islands
Britain : Hold my beer
It's big Trev! The legend!
@EddieExile but the "tiny" carriers hold two complete squadrons of Harriers less than 100 miles from the islands, moving to a different location at the end of each day, thus making then untracebale, whilst the argentinian bases where fixed airstrips at triple the distance always having the same attack pattern and only permitting 10 minutes of operational flight over the island for their combat jets.
Love watching this!!!
14:07 "A defeated army, returning to their mother land." Man that's humiliating with the ARG troops just behind the reporter.
Honestly believe no other country could have the job the British did given the same resources..what an achievement
In the early 2000's I traveled briefly through Argentina, loved it, very friendly people, and wish them no ill will. However, in 1982, they didn't know who they were fucking with. Tip of the hat to all the lads who gave their lives or were maimed in a just cause.
Argentines generally like the British. We have no personal problem with them. There is a part of the Argentine territory usurped by the United Kingdom since 1833. That is a serious political problem.
@@carinajauregui9383 Surely Argentina only came into being as a nation in 1861 after period of war. How can it yours if you didn't exist when Britain came to the islands. just because you're close to place does not make yours.
@@alanjjeff It's a misunderstanding. Argentina had its first government of its own from May 25, 1810, and declared its independence (a formality) on July 9, 1816. You confuse the existence of Argentina with the consolidation of a National State (in case you are interested , that was achieved only in 1880)
For what interests us, Argentina existed at the time the British usurped the Malvinas on January 3, 1833, and the Argentine flag was lowered, not another.
@@carinajauregui9383 But that 1810 declaration was not for the Argentina but open the fight for the creation of Argentina. Its formal creation was not internationally accepted until 1861 when the country became a federation along the borders recognised today. This did not exercise a claim for the Falkland islands/ las Malvinas. The British claim to sovereignty dates from 1690, when they made the first recorded landing on the islands.
Spain did make claims that the Falkland Islands were to held under provisions in the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht which settled the limits of the Spanish Empire in the Americas. However, the treaty only promised to restore the territories in the Americas held prior to the War of the Spanish Succession. The Falkland Islands was not held by Spain at the time and were not mentioned in the treaty.
This treaty would be the sole claim by Spain and its successors that could be considered. But as the island were already claimed by Britain this 1713 Spanish claim failed. You may feel that Viceroyalty of the River Plate claimed the Falklands in 1811 but whilst this covered part of Argentina it was not a pre-argentine government and its claim was based on the previous Spanish Claim.
@@alanjjeff Hello Alan.
Some corrections: Argentina was recognized by the United Kingdom in 1825 (by the way, your country did not make any reservations about the Malvinas where Argentina already exercised sovereignty)
Argentina took formal possession of the islands on November 6, 1820 without any formal complaint from the United Kingdom (which, as I told you, 5 years later recognized Argentine independence)
The British claim to FULL sovereignty over the islands dates back to 1829. Until that time the British only claimed Pebble and Saunders Islands.
In 1690 James Strong landed on the islands, BUT DID NOT CLAIM SOVEREIGNTY (that is a recent invention of British propagandists)
Spain has always exercised control of its possessions, including the Austral Sea (South Atlantic). Utrecht only recognized the Spanish sphere of influence (supported by the British who did not want the French to interfere in the Spanish Empire now that the same royal family ruled in both countries)
The United Kingdom did not claim the islands, but settled in Port Egmont in 1765, but the French were already in Port Luis (1764), and recognized Spanish sovereignty in 1766. In short, the British were late to claim possession, and late to claim sovereign rights.

This is what total war looks like.
I've seen it during my time at the sandbox...
I agree. It was what he had said in his memoirs, and I was just reporting on this. But to give him his due, he's one of the few veterens who would openly admit that maybe what they were doing was something very wrong. That perhaps they shouldn't be there. That the Falklands are the home and domain of the Falklanders. And I take my hat off to him for that at least. In Argentina that's a very brave thing to do.
@Arminevh Fantastic video.....Now then.I rest my case.
That is freaking disgusting they were shitting on the floors wtf. Where did they get their soldiers from???
From the fucking caves.
lum otaku It is a problem with every Army in the fired, they don't have portie potties. A sewage system designed for 3 or 4 thousand folks can't handle 12 thousand folks. So Armies resort to ground latrines. However, pissing on the post office floor isn't nice or healthy.
argentain soldiers were actually 18 y/o boys who were forced to fight because we were on a dictatorship, if you didn't want to fight they will kill you and your family. These "freaking disgusting" argentain soldiers never used a weapon before, because they weren't trained to fight.
Only 50% the other 50% were regs and SF.

@burnley5960 I have actually been in one of their camps! Its between Mendoza and the chile near Puente Del Inca in the Andes. Wed been mountaineering and I had some er `abdominal pains` and needed a Doc. The camp was just up the road. The main gate we had passed weeks before had a huge gate with 2 huge very old fk off machine guns and guards looking down, but the first entrance we came to up the road was an unmanned barrier and a road so we used that. Bout 200 yds further on we turned left....
my gun commander sgt brown was 29 commando royal artillery in the Falkland they wore out there barrel's of there 105mm
In 1953 I was serving in the flagship of the American and West Indies squadron. a light cruiser. An Argentine frigate was reported as sniffing around the Falklands so we had to go down there to chase them away. They wisely legged it pretty quickly after it was made known that we were on our way and we sat in the harbour at Port Stanley for a couple of weeks just in case they came back.
