Should read "We invaded the Falklands and all we got was this rotten gun!"

Wonderful piece about the Falklands War but the most important result of that conflict was the fall of the junta and the restoration of democracy in Argentina. Thus, all the combatants, Brits and Argentines together were true heroes, even though they did not realize it at the time, they were all fighting for the greater good. What a tragedy so many had to die.
