No good publishing total figures as that doesn't mean a lot apart from a logistical nightmare if they decide to move any more than a couple of thousand.

That's why they got the island so easily last time in that it was a small fast moving force taking over an undefended island.. This time it's nothing like that and I'm sure that the costs involved and fear of the Argentine people alone in being "defenceless" would soon cause uproar in their government.

The argies would be stupid to try and attack
The figures do mean a great deal, as they may not match us for technology, but it wouldn't be difficult for them to overwhelm our defences, as Argentina is only a couple of hundres miles away.

Do you have any idea how long it took for the British task force to reach the Falklands last time??

Yes they may be crazy to attack. But maybe they are crazy!!
