I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
I don't suppose you have a Japanese TV set or a German car at home, or maybe some German tools, or a Japanese microwave etc
As a young guy half on the ground in '82. I disagree with the statement.
The politicians are the ones to blame, not the members of the forces.
So how long do you continue to hold a grudge for?
The Germans for WW1 and 2.
The French for everything from Waterloo to the Battle of Hastings
The Americans for the War of Independence
The Russians for the Crimean war.
The South Africans for the Boer War.
etc,
etc,
It's a very long list!

timex,
Sorry for you loss. How you deal with it is your issue. If you want to blame the Argentinians indefinately then that is your choice, but not one we all have to follow.
Considering there were twice as many Argentinian losses as British in the Falklands War, perhaps you might like to consider how many people in Argentina might feel about the British today if they adopted your approach - and their forces were largely conscripts, not volunteers.....

Off the top of my head (not having the book to hand), only 4 Argie aircrew who actually managed to escape from their aircraft and land alive failed to be rescued. The 2 man crew of the first Canberra to be shot down on 1st May managed to eject and were lost at sea to the north of Pebble Island (The patrol vessel sent to search for them ended up eating a couple of Sea Suka's from the lynx off one of the Type 42's). The other two crew were the pilots of 2 Skyhawks, one shot down by a Sidewinder, who broke both of his legs in the ejection and was found dead on the ground on the west coast of West Falkland wrapped in his parachute long after the war finished. The other was shot down by a Sea Dart launched by HMS Coventry, and his body was found in his dinghy washed up on a beach on the north of West Falkland again well after the war finished.

Some of the used ones are going cheap and well worth the postage from the US, the two unused ones are worth 5 times what the book cost in 1986. The book has only been reprinted once as far as I am aware and that was the year after first release.
