One hit

Victory...kinda, sorta.

An outstanding venture nevertheless.

Very well done on a wing and a prayer.

Having a beer somewhere God knows where and I struck up a conversations with a young fellow. Turns out he was Brit infantry who went in at the Falklands.
Being a fellow vet he opened up a bit as to the happenings their. Appears it was a hell of a lot rougher for those troops than was portrayed in the news. The Argentinians turned out to be a bit better fighters than was anticipated.
