I hope the Argentines don’t rehash that mess all over again.

Looks like they are bound and determined to get their nose bloodied a second time. Maybe they are hoping Bummer will lean on the UK.

The Brits got lucky last time around. The only reason they didn’t go home earlier (with their tails between their legs) was because the Argentine pilots didn’t arm their bombs properly when they dropped them on British ships. Many bombs landed on British ships & carriers and a number of them didn’t explode because the fuse timing was off, due to the low altitude drops. Whoops! A few lucky duds saved their butts, as far as the Brits were concerned. American assistance in a number of areas also helped them limp to a marginal victory. They could never do that again, especially these days.
