I offer no military questions or answers- I don't have the knowledge.

But no-one seems to have mentioned the obvious real world problem: the world is nearly bankrupt. Can Argentina retake the islands? 'Maybe', seems to be the answer.

Can they sink the billions upon billions needed to hold them during the subsequesnt 'peace'? Nobody's really beenthreatening the Falklands since '82. How much has the last 30 years cost us to ensure that lack of threat?

Are they that stupid? (Pollies involved, am I that stupid to ask the question!)
