Yeah, the Falklands war is one of those rare "just" wars. We Brits defended a load of hardy, culturally British sheep-tinkerers from a junta who did things like throw nuns out of aeroplanes. And losing the war caused the junta to collapse.
Maybe Thatcher could have seen the invasion coming and nipped it in the bud, and mayyyybe she deliberately let sneaky Alan Argie invade for political advantage, but I don't think there's much solid evidence that either of those are true. If she was that sneaky then we won't know until something incriminating gets declassified. Oh, and the war did help the bitch get re-elected, but I blame the idiot general population of KCI for that.
I read some of the first-person accounts of the military action, and it turns out there was some actual bayonet fighting. That's like super-sized knife crime that you can't be prosecuted for. What's not to like?
