Boy, the Argentine government gets their knickers in a twist rather easily.

I did not know the British royal family was Spanish.

One thing you have to say about the British Royals - their kids do serve in the military, and not in ceremonial positions.

William is an active helicopter pilot doing real-world missions, and Harry served in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Their uncle Prince Andrew was a combat pilot in the Falklands. Even Charles was a military pilot in the peaceful 70’s.

So where are the children of Pelosi, Reid, the Kennedys, and, sadly, the Bush’s, Gingrich’s, and Romneys? Do you think Malika and Sascha Obama will ever wear a uniform?
At least Joe Biden’s kid got in service, even if as a non-combat JAG lawyer in his 30’s because it would, a la Kerry, inflate his resume.

Here’s how to settle it. Give the Falklands back to Argetina, then give Argentina back to Spain!!

So easy to conquer tiny ininhabited islands. Oh the brutality! Oh, the humanity!.

It took the brits to actually find a way to live there.

I guess Argentina finally recovered and rebuilt from the a$$ kicking the British gave them in the 1980’s and are ready to have their military destroyed for another 30 years.

I've never understood why the Argentines have this irrational attachment to the Falkland Islands (aka Malvinas) that lie 250 nautical miles off the coast of South America. The place, from everything I've heard, is not very hospitable [it has a sub-Arctic climate = chilly, windy, and damp]. The main industries are fishing, sheep herding, and tourism that provide a living for less than 3,300 full-time residents. Population density is approximately 0.65 per square mile.

The islanders have voted to remain citizens of the British Crown, so why don't the Argentines understand the citizens of this 4,700 square mile collection of rock in the South Atlantic want nothing to do with Argentina? Argentina keeps acting like a spurned lover that keeps stalking their paramour.
