I have it on good authority that US participation in the Falklands War is being dramatised for the big screen.
Mel Gibson is producing and playing the lead role, in a script by Randall Wallace.
Maj Nutter USMC (Gibson) is an exchange officer who finds himself en route to the Falklands with the Task Force. He falls foul of his CO, Lt Col Plinkington-Flyppe of 99 Para, who is only the CO because he is the second cousin of Prince Charles and a raving homosexual (like all British officers). To cut a long story short, Maj Nutter whips the pansy-ass Brits into shape on the voyage, leads them in a bayonet charge when the CO thinks it isn't safe because it is raining and raises the Stars and Stripes above the governer's house in Port Stanely (before even Max Hastings gets there).
