1. Fight smart, not hard.
2. Hit the runway, argentinian fast jets forced to operate at the limits of their endurance for the remainder of the conflict - mission accomplished.
3. We won our war in less than three months, including the time it took to get there- how did you guys get on? You had ten years so I'm sure it was an even bigger victory.
