IMHO only a complete moron would argue that Argentine forces should have been granted freedom to manoeuvre in any location at all, let alone in the South Atlantic. Again, only my opinion but only the extremely naive would argue that hostile forces, engaged in, or supporting, the occupation of British sovereign territory should not be engaged due to their location relative to a circle of arbitrary size based on a fairly arbitrary lat/long.

To me it is completely incoherent that the (Argentine) fervour which greeted the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands was intense and nationwide and yet a proportion of people think that valid military targets existed solely within the TEZ.

What, for example, would we think now of a successful SF raid on the Super-E or C-130 base?
