It's a shame to the memory of those who have fought and died for this country that some people here have such a defeatist attitude.

Yet again Kymmy, you completely miss my point. I'm not being deeatist at all. We may have a 10-1 advantage if we send enough of our military to the area. But we haven't, so that 10-1 adantage could easily be negated.
My point is that we should massively boost our defences of the Falklands, so that they wouldn't think for a second that they stand a chance. That way there would be no bloodshed at all.
As it stands at the moment, they may be confident of launching a successful invasion. And even if they fail, there could be a huge amount of bloodshed as they make their attempt.
I don't know what your agenda is, but mine is to prevent them to even attempting an invasion, to save British lives. I know people who fought in the last Falklands war, and lost many friends. We don't want that to happen again. And don't play down the last war, because it was a war, where many British servicemen were killed...don't forget that.
