    So a story from my Step-Dad, who actually fought there with some of his friends. One of the Argentinian soldiers got shot, and stood back up, so they shot him again, and he stood back up. In total, he was shot 4 times and each time got back to his feet to fight back, so his company gave him medical aid and told their superiors that they wanted him to get a medal for bravery from the British government. for those wondering how he survived; Overpenetration. The FAL model weapons they were using just overpenned people who had no armour.

The RMC alone are the best infantry in the world even today and respected by U.S forces as such.. There is no shame is taking a defeat from such a Military and the fact that the Argentinians gained there respect says a lot about the Argentinian who fought, they clearly fought hard.

    If you read the accounts of his cp detail he was frustrated with the rate of progress against a specific mg entrenchment. Deciding to act on this himself he sought a path up a gully towards the position he wanted clearing . As they were advancing Jones took point (a big nono for a leader at his level. One of his cp element identified a second, previously unspotted, mg nest to his exposed back and called out to warn him, he either didnt hear or ignored the warning and continued his run, it was then he was shot by the second nest. Whilst it is certainly appropriate to applaud the individual courage of the act it is also entirely inappropriate for someone entrusted with that position of leadership to take such an action. Taken out of context or without a correct understanding of what his role entailed it seems like the courage is all that matters, the truth is that for a leader at his level there are far more important things than personal courage. In terms of leadership individual discipline and overcoming the frustration with his perception of the situation so that he could instruct others to achieve the objective rather than going the quick fix himself is nearly universally agreed to be the preferable command decision.

    I know someone that claims to be the first casualty of the Falklands war. He was in 2 Para and they got the call to get their kit ready to go to war ASAP. In the rush to be ready he smashed his bare foot in to the corner of his foot locker so hard he broke multiple bones and was laid up for about 8 weeks. By the time he was back to unit it was all over. He is still in 2 minds about it. On one hand he wanted to be there and felt like he let his unit down. On the other hand it would have been a horrific experience that changed a lot of his friends for the worse.

    The Argentine pilots showed immense courage fighting at the edge of their range, low on fuel and dodging AA fire. A lot of the young conscripts also fought bravely. Much respect to the Argentine lads from Britain. Governments start wars, not the people.
