The Argie Air Force did themselves proud, that was never disputed, but unfortunately, for them, their Navy and Army didn't show the same balls, the Navy legged it as soon as the Brits turned up, even the famous submarine was sailing away from the islands, and the army 'conscripts' surrendered after little more than a 'fisticuffs'.
