At the time I was following the story pretty close.

I would meet with two friends for coffee, and we would all buy a different newspaper to read and share, one of the friends was an ex-WWII Brit commando, so he was well interested.

In 1986, I got assigned to the US Embassy, Office of the Military Attaché, in Buenos Aires. There were still some old timers hanging on who’d been there during the hostilities and told me that the Argies were really pist at us for backing the Brits, and a lot of the Argie Army, Air Force and Naval officers gathered in front of the Embassy and threw their awards and letters of praise that they had earned on courses while in the States over the Embassy fence. Yet before I left in 1989, we were running exchange programs with the Argie Military. Even up to this day, the Argies still like the Brits better than they like us.

Has not Obumber said or hinted he favors the Argentines? Just asking.
