The Last Good War

Both sides fought honorably and bravely. Neither side hid behind civilians or primarily used IEDs or air power against the defenseless. Neither side has anything to be ashamed of. This was not only the last good war, but the only really aesthetic modern war. You can’t prove me wrong.

>Neither side has anything to be ashamed of.
The Brits blew through the Argentinians like shit through a goose. If they aren't totally ashamed, they had no pride to begin with.

The Argies were also allegedly pretty embarrassed by the whole thing, and the returning veterans were treated like shit by civilians for “losing the war.”

Sinking the Belgrano was a typical bong shitbag move

Sinking a flagship of a hostile nation that literally invaded your territory without a deceleration of war, killed your soldiers, and is holding your citizens under occupation is a shitbag move?

Was sinking the Bismark a dick move too?

This. Desert conflicts infinite more cool. Only Ukraine can rival

Do you fucking speak English, you fucking dumb fuck?

faggot argie detected

As a argie it's obviously sucks that we lost, but atleast our aesthetic super entendars sunk some ships
Yay
Gibs back malivinas pls

Fuck you, I word vomit when I’m drunk.

>I word vomit when I’m drunk.
You also lick beaner assholes until they bleed when you're drunk, you cock gargling swine.

God dammit Juan, that was supposed to be between us.

I laugh as your people go extinct In your own homeland, scumdrinker

Is this a still from Generation Kill?

That’s really a testament to how authentic the props and costumes were in that show.

>I laugh as your people go extinct In your own homeland
...and you think my "people" are, and my homeland is....? Fucking retard.

> commie potatoniggers blowing up and extorting regular potatoniggers because anytime they scrapped with the brits they got their shit pushed in

Sounds more like pest control

Your not a slimmy anglo?
Good for you then

Argentinians created minefields without leaving any signs. This is against the Geneva convention and was a warm crime.

Yup

>warm crime
sounds comfy

Never forget that Israel provided Argentina with support during the war, going against the USA's wish to support Britain in the war.

"it was da joos!"

Source

>He's totally right so I'll make him sound silly!
If you genuinely believe in this day and age that Israel gives a single fucking shit about the US and her allies, you are one of the biggest fools I've ever had the misfortune to meet.

It's just a really butthurt discord tranny.

>The files back up a book published in 2011 called Operation Israel, by Argentine journalist Hernan Dobry, which explained how Israel sent Argentina the weapons via secret cargo flights that went through Peru.
>The UK’s National Archives department has released files which cite evidence that Israeli weapons including Skyhawk jets were sold to Argentina prior to the war, which were later used to bomb British forces, killing 48 soldiers and sailors.

That anyone believes that Israel is the US' ally fucking blows me away. And they blew people away, too. Literally. If you haven't read about the USS Liberty, you should do so.

No legit claim to the territory

The islanders identify as british

Piss off

They also placed air defence radars and missiles in civilian areas. While taking food and supplied from civilians before cutting off their power and water.

Let's see...
In 1764, the French put the first colony on the Islands.
In 1765, the islands were claimed by Britain.
Then, 5 years later, a Spanish dude invaded the Falklands and forcibly occupied the islands. After a while, the Spanish got bored and pissed off and Britain returned to their rightful lands until the 1980s when the Argentinians tried again to steal the land and got wrecked.
So basically, the French have more of a right to the islands than the Argentinians do. Not to mention that literally everyone on the islands is British and actively supported the British troops during the war,

>Import invaders to land
>Tell them to vote
>They vote for thier own interests
Yeah funny how that works
French and anglo lies
The islands belongs to the territory of Spain that later we inherited
>But ackthually we saw it first!
Good riddance the British are going to be extinct in 40 years, Along with most developed European countries.

You can both rationalize your lies all you want, we have a legitimate claim.

Argie here, no we dont, that's just retarded government propaganda, some fags actually do believe that but not all of us are THAT retarded

And the last time you tried to capitalise on your 'legitimate claim', thousands of your 'men' got laughably slaughtered by a much smaller and infinitely more professional force thousands of miles from their homeland.

Its the political equivalent of someone fucking that cute girl you fancy on your front porch, you come out, give him a weak slap and he knocks you out in one punch. While the girl laughs at you.

Desert conflicts are fucking boring. Jungle conflicts are the best imo. Plus I blame desert warfare for every new gun being offered in that awful beige/brown color now.

they barely confiscated cattle and cigarettes. Sure, that's a minor crime, but you can't deny the fact that quite harmless vs the average jihadist attack

Layvon affair

didn't you sold them 2 Type 42 destroyers like 4 years before the war and put an embargo on Chile (the ones who gave you intel and scared away the bulk of troops in the continent)?

Fuck if I know. I just wanted to point out how the guy contradicted himself.

they looted the shops and provided the civilians with none of their own supplies, leaving them to fend for themselves on a starvation diet until liberation. thankfully people had enough in the homes/body fat that no one died before liberation.

There is no excuse for shutting down the power and water.

>Was sinking the Bismark a dick move too?
different user, don't be ridiculous, the two are COMPLETELY different

After all Bismarck wasn't a former US Navy cruiser

To be fair thats not really the soldiers fault. The guys sent over were generally tier-2 conscripts. The argies kept their decent troops on the border with Chile. They completely underestimated how assblasted the bongs would get.

He's right you know. Isreal has been an absolute thorn in the side of the US and most NATO allies for decades. The list of bullshit stunts the Isrealies has pulled over the decades is insane.

If my country had even done one we would now be a massive crater with a McDonalds at the bottom.

UK had been in decline for decades & what remained of their military might was less and less about projecting force across the globe and more and more about providing a speed bump for the feared Warpac attack through Germany, in essence Argies thought bongs wouldn't have the balls nor the resources to fight a war in South Atlantic just so some shepherds living on a couple rocks wouldn't have to learn Spanish.

Like I said, they completely underestimated how assblasted the bongs would get.

While there were conscripts there, those conscripts were part of the regular army doing their national military service, not some rabble gathered together for the conflict a few weeks before.

Argentine 'elite' forces were present on the islands too.

you never know with those guys, don’t blame you desu

To be fair the Chosen People got thrown under a bus during the Suez Crisis and they are known to hold a grudge.

>known to hold a grudge
They're still ass blasted about shit that happened 4000 years ago

Tell me why I should be interested in a war where so little people died? Did anything interesting happen at all?

>Tell me why I should be interested in a war where so little people died?
Like the war of independence?

'We're just going to sail our big warship toward the exclusion zone so we can threaten your carrier group'

'Hey you sank it no Fair!'

Are you retarded?

Bong V-force (aka. their air force's nuclear deterrent) conducted a bombing operation on Falklands from a base thousands of miles away, they sank an ex-US Navy cruiser and kicked Latino asses so hard the Argie government almost literally went up in flames

Imagine being so simple the only thing you care about is big numbers and bright colors

>sending a bunch of 18-year old conscripts to try and take some land with maybe a week's worth of training and barely functional firearms, all because your ebin military dictatorship ran the fucking country into the ground and support is lowering so far down that kidnapping dissidents won't be enough anymore so you need governmental brownie points and fast
>guy in charge of the country and military is a fucking alcoholic
>general land war is of course a complete shitshow; officers incompetent, soldiers hungry, equipment inoperable, everyone is green as grass and nobody has any clue what they're doing, etc.
>air force is able to put up a half decent fight due to being more professional and mostly sheer gall in the shit they're doing (trying to evade radar by flying low enough over land that bomb fuzes don't arm before impacting Earth)
>every magazine and newspaper back in the mainland is famously headlined "WE'RE WINNING!" and "WE'RE STILL WINNING!" which is clearly a huge fucking lie to anyone getting letters from the islands, but God help you and your family if you don't enthusiastically support the war effort
>fail spectacularly in attempts to win back national support by taking islands, now you've got a bunch of dead young men for nothing, and you still end up getting removed and democracy reinstated with nothing to show for it except a country in shambles by almost every metric
Aesthetic? The entire event was a terrible fucking idea that went horribly and that never should have happened. Pretty much anyone who's not off their rocker will respect the sacrifices those poor boys were made to do but realize they never should have happened in the first fucking place. My uncle is a veteran on the losing side and founder of one of the most important war museums in the country, and he'll plainly tell you as much. The only people who will give you shit and stone your car or vandalize your house are an outspoken bunch of jackasses who really take national pride too far.

Just out of curiosity, is it a war crime to leave minefield signs when you never put any mines out?

obligatory
youtube.com/watch?v=rXnmPHAhTxA

Personally, I find it to be one of the most interesting conflicts of the 20th century. Hard to explain why it's so interesting but I've read quite a few books about the conflict and love looking at pictures of the war.

If I recall, the crime is laying mines that innocents can be blown up by without reasonable warning
The sign is just that warning
If there's no mines, then theres no problem

I give you my response in the form of song.

Some of the Argentinians may have been malnourished but I don't think you needed to go that far.

>commies
Maybe the OIRA but not PIRA. Also they were the only professional paramilitary in the war and the Brits recognized their effectiveness.

>country not supporting American imperialism is a bad thing
Israel did the right thing by supporting the argies in getting their ethnic land back from HATO

No. no one died and the war was boring. The only wars worth looking at in the modern age are WW2 and Syria.

CIA funding doesn't make them any better.

>an outspoken bunch of jackasses who really take national pride too far.
are those the same people that decided that instead of letting the Brits return the Argies that died on the Islands to their family's, they would tell the Brits to just bury them there so as to bolster any future (false) claim to the Islands?

Did the British do the smart thing and just toss their corpses into the sea?

>argies
>ethnic land
What?

Don't bother they are retarded. I hope in the coming decades someone takes this stupidity to the logical extend and have Chile go full Hitler and try and conquer South America because they have just as much claim to the continent as any of the other tards.

do argentinians really do this?

What do you guys think about the snipers with american accents?

if Chile does that I will be launching a petition to force Russia to turn Ingria (now known as Leningrad Oblast) over to Finland, Finland has better claim to St Petersburg than Argies have on Falklands or Chile has on South-America

>only naval battles since WWII
>anything interesting

What naval battle?

different user, Royal Navy sank an Argie Navy cruiser, Argie Navy fighters retaliated with Excocets which hit multiple Royal Navy and/or auxiliary vessels, there wasn't much exchange of fire, yet lots of death and shit tons of damage

Didnt the Israelis and Egyptians, and the Indians and Pakis also have naval battles?

No pride for winning? Why should the Brits be ashamed for kicking ass?

That's not their ethnic land you retard. The islands were in uninhabited before anyone found them. First the French, then the Brits, then the Spanish, then the Brits again. Argentina never owned the islands, only the countries I just mentioned did. And no Argentina isn't the same as Spain, so it doesn't count

Assuming you're a white Argentinian and not a Mestizo one. Mestizos and Amerindians will take over Argentina. The mestizos and amerindians from Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, etc are changing the demographics of Argentina and will make Argentina a Mestizo and Amerindian nation. And the statistics are proving this to be true. So you can't say that the Brits are becoming extinct when you are too.

The CIA was finding the IRA? What?

Argies claim the islands were part of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata which later became Argentina

Rich Irish Americans funded them not glowniggers

All Republicans are socialists. I live in Northern Ireland and you can't lie to me.

But the Viceroyalty was under Spanish rule, and therefore a property of Spain.

The props were shit. Half the time they were clearly airsoft guns.

not sure what you are getting at, the Argies are saying that back in the day when they were still a Spanish colony the Spanish annexed the Falklands into their colony & as such when their colony became independent all the territories that were part of the colony were now part of the independent state of Argentina instead.

Based /OperationJustCauseEnthusiast/ user

I use to think that the US was in a state of war because I never knew the wars in movies took place overseas.

Ever read one in spanish m8?

No, as an argie who has read several books about the conflict we dont believe that shit. That was created by a socialist government who try to make everyone believe that military forces and security forces only exist with the sole purpose of opressing the population.

Dang you must be argentinian because you explained exactly what is happening rn

The US is more or less in a constant state of war. I think we’ve been at peace for, like, 12 whole years since 1776. Turns out we’re pretty good at it.

I'm not, and I'm not British either. I just pay attention to what's happening. When I was researching latin America a while back, I came across statistics of Argentina and how the demographics were changing. It was worth pointing out since that Argentine was making fun of the British for being outnumbered, even though white Argentinians are also being outnumbered.
