I'm not bored of you. I think you're usually a good poster. You've just been a prick the last few days.
No, which Units/Division/Brigades, which ships etc. You seem to know all about Britain's defence and attack capabilities so why don't you enlighten us and tell us who would forcibly remove the Argies and take back the Islands in the event of an invasion.
Easier still, just admit you know nothing about the state of our military at this time.
'UK can do 'precisely nothing' to prevent Argentina retaking the Falklands'
London, June 13 : Admiral Sir John "Sandy" Woodward, who commanded the British Naval Force in the South Atlantic during the Falklands War, has warned that the defence cuts will allow his country to do "precisely nothing" to prevent Argentina from retaking the islands.
Woodward also stressed that America has little interest in supporting Britain in any conflict because a stable Argentina is now more important to the State Department, The Telegraph reports.
He said that the US is pushing for negotiations over their sovereignty and that as "significantly the islands were already being called the Malvinas by the US, tells us all too clearly which way the wind is blowing."
With the Armed Forces already "over-committed" in Afghanistan and Libya, and the Navy drastically weakened following last year''s defence review, "the answer appears to be that we can do precisely nothing other than accede to US pressure," the 79-year-old insisted.

Disgusting comment.
Comming from a former squaddie I would have expected better.
You bring shame on the human race mocking someone who lost his face in battle.
Just imagine when you were peeling your tatties campside and some oil scalded your face and horrendously disfigured you.
Shame on you.
YA BUNCH A BIN LADEN BASTIRTS!
How the **** did he manage to mastermind all those terrorist attacks. Did you see him using his remote control?
This is stupid Falkland Islands is to far away from UK, dont see no benefits of keeping it safe and economically viable.
Should sell it for billions to help pay for young teenage mothers imo.
