I remember the term: The British fleet is sailing at “Diplomatic Speed” towards the Falklands. I think it was Haig trying to prevent a shooting war during that time...but no luck. Back then, the UK actually MAINTAINED their military hardware, so they did wind up winning.

Anyone younger than 55 years has no memory of the Falkland War. Amazing.
