In my year down south this sort of sabre rattling was relatively frequent. On one occasion they sent one of their ships into the Falklands Econimic zone to check licences. This so enraged the locals they wanted to order warning shots across the bows etc. There were also several incurions into the FICZ all of which our mighty F3 boys with help from the CRC headed off at the pass. The point? If we fail to react to each and every bit of posturing we may end up giving some dullard Argie the idea we are no longer interested and find another rude dawn chorus off of York Bay. So do we stay and defend or bugger off and leave them to it? I'm all for the former as my year was a real hoot and one of the best of my 24 years so far. One of the few places left where one can be treated like an adult with leaders who are up to the task!........Discuss
