I understand your perspective but let's try to remember that those tenacious pilots of Argentina lost the war and Britain was victorious.

Yes, but just barely. And if the Argentine's exocets had worked properly, the Brits would have been defeated.

..."if the Argentine's exocets had worked properly, the Brits would have been defeated."

Doubtful. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had already indicated that she was prepared to nuke Argentina if necessary.

Ironically, her rattling of the UK nuclear sabre was reportedly to then-French President Francois Mitterand, demanding that France hand over the deactivate codes for the French-built exocets, because the UK was not about to tolerate any more of their ships being hit as was the Sheffield.

Argentina never had a prayer, don't kid yourself otherwise my FRiend. ;)
