You honestly have no idea do you  |
By front line I'm talking about going out on patrol, and getting shot at.
Anyway this is getting off topic.
You have to remember Kymmy, that this is a forum, where people are entitled to their own opinion. Just because you have a military background does not mean that you are the only person who could be right. It is just your opinion.
My opinion is that in order to be certain that Argentina won't try anything, we need aircraft carriers out there, as well as a bigger defence force. And it is my opinion that this will prevent loss of life.
One thing we don't know for sure, is how desperate the the Argentine government are to try and do something to win over public opinion. At the moment they are getting the public worked up on the issue. My personal opinion is that she is just sabre rattling to make it appear to the public that she is doing something, and to win the public over....but we really don't know for sure.

I can't see this being due to the Argies really wanting the islands. |
It's over oil more than anything else. This is why USA won't back us, because they want to use their technology for oil exploration, and strike a deal with Argentina.
