Mission to identify Argentinian Falklands Casualties begins

Let's hope it's as successful as the first phase.
"ARGENTINA will start a search to identify remains of Argentine soldiers who died in the Falklands War in 1982.
The second stage of the humanitarian mission will begin on August 9. The team in charge of the process will include the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), an expert from the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, and a British specialist. The experts will all travel to the Falkland Islands after completing a week of quarantine because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
They will then start to identify the remains in the multiple tomb C.1.10, near the main cross of the Darwin cemetery.
The first phase of the Humanitarian Project Plan began in 2012 when more than 100 bodies were identified.
The governments of Argentina and the United Kingdom agreed that the ICRC will carry out the identification of the remains belonging to unidentified Argentine soldiers.
The committee will carry out the archaeological exhumation of the remains, the analysis and documentation of all human remains and the collection of DNA samples."

..wow....after all these years?? less than a thousand killed.....? strange
...I got to stay on an Argentine base for a day or so....it was 88', or 89'...and some of their men stayed on our ship...they got a big American breakfast..we had ''only'' coffee and toast on their base

 

How was their attitude toward Americans, like we sold them planes and weapons but when the war broke out we wouldn't give them the info on how to adjust the detonators on the bombs, they were a little peeved at us then. I always thought that was weird if you bought a modern weapon system wouldn't you want all the manuals and what about the system you bought. Seems strange, they did pretty good considering they couldn't reset the fuse on the bombs wonder what would have happened if they were able to have the full capability of the bombs. Some of the footage back then was wild like that a4 trying to lose that missile the guy really didn't manuver much just wagged his wings not like some stuff where they show the guy wing over and over or barrel rolls. After the war was over they had piles of Argentinean rifles just left to rust wonder if they sold or scraped them. I have the L1A1 made the mistake of getting some metric mags, was a little peeved because the sign said L1A1 mags but they fit loose so read up on it and found out they lied or mismarked as they were metric manufacture not English inch pattern still have them haven't tried to see if the work worried since they don't fit tight.

 

I understood the Argentinian took the islands as they considered them their property.. Also that Thacher decided that the RN was sent there. Was the US included in the warfare in any way? That is how Finnish papers explained the situation.

 

The US passed on intel from satellites, I believe.

 

..I thought we helped Britain a lot, in that war......they seemed to like us a lot.....key word ''seemed'''....I'm sure a lot of them didn't like us---for our policies, but liked us as Americans .....we worked with a lot of the countries down in South America ....
.....they did have a Museum with a USMC uniform --but they could've just put that in before we got there ..I was not impressed with any of their militaries....I also went to the Mediterranean...worked with the French Foreign Legion, Italians, etc .....the Tunisians were not impressive at all
