I have no intention of insulting anyone. I really do think you're firing from the hip without thorough research or the benefit of experience of the subject. Your view of whether HM Forces are adequate as a deterrent force has shifted from 'no and a determined assault could ovcome them' to 'yes but that means Argentina would have to make a big assault using troops as cannon fodder'. These are two quite different positions.
You also stated - without equivocation - that the original conflict lasted a year, only qualifying that statement as being a childhood memory when you were called out on it. I'm sorry, but as an excuse for a basic factual error that's lame.
I think you've gone out on a limb on this one, claimed statements as fact that are beyond your knowledge or experience to back up and are resorting to trying to play down the comments of people who actually do have first-hand experience of these matters by claiming the experience of friends or family as your own.
