Falklands War 1982 (Episode 3)

I'm from Cyprus Greece. And I'm here to honour the Argentinians. My family fought against British colonial rule in Cyprus. 1955 - 1959. British are wanted in Greece for war crimes. It's disgusting to see the UK government trying to sweep their atrocities under the rug instead of persecuting all of the terrible British involved. My great grandfather was tortured to death by the British and my grandmother survived but she had to run to escape torture, and she managed to hide in a well, gashing and breaking her leg on the descent. She died a few years later in my mothers arms. I know that a few British people had nothing to do with the invasion of Cyprus, Greece, but there is still some semblance of hate within me towards British. My family hate the Scottish bagpipes and hate the Scottish people from Scotland. My Uncle and Aunty were Eoka veteran's and Hated the English and the Scottish the most. In Greece and Cyprus we Call the British invaders, bastards and terrorists.

2023, Britain couldn’t do this now…

Argentinian rifles ... never been fired and only dropped once!

humility and honesty for the most part from brothers in arms not so sure about Woodward comes across as a bit pompus, was it worth it I have no right to answer, respect to you all guys. R.I.P those that did not return home whichever uniform and who are gone now. thanks for the upload.

Is this the war where his holiness ‘Prince’ Andrew stopped sweating??
POS…

The Malvinas (Falklands🇦🇷) belongs to Argentina, UK stole that land and united kingdom will be cursed until they returns them.

`Another brittish colonized Island no where near England that is obviously part of Argentina, Well what can i say what a waste of lives for a desolate place far from England. Maybe they will give it back to the real ancient owners

Educated Argie officer doesn't know the different between, British, English or Welsh.

True respect for all of the lost and the brave 👍👍👍👍After serving with these guys I love them all . One for all and all for one is a true saying and it showed here. True grit . Out numbered but not out classed .

Seeing Edward mountbatten in this documentary is a shame

Marine Major is equivalent to a full Colonel when on a ship..

No doubt The Britons had the will and determination to win the war which they successfully did.

I was 20 when this happened and after watching this series I’m still not sure what this was all about, but I’m sure it wasn’t worth the lives lost.

i am a no one, but fought in this war. So what?

I was stationed at the Naval Amphibious School at Little Creek Amphibious Base ( Naval Gunfire Support Trainer) during this. After it was over, there were briefings held there with American and British Naval Officers. I had the opportunity to view several photos from the damaged and destroyed British ships. Some of them were just unbelievable.

"The tragedy is that human beings are prepared to gkve so much to war -- and yet, so little to peace."

Can we stamp this across the threshold of every city hall, school, politician's desk, and public space in those places where men who have never fired a rifle, nor taken fire, call out so loudly and recklessly for War?

Can we paste this forcibly upon the forehead of every father who loudly demands his sons go to wars they themselves do not understand?

Can we beat this into the brains of those who think "national glory" on far-off adventures are worth the deaths of innocent lads and fathers and husbands in a cause built solely on human indifference?

No one is so opposed to War as those who have tasted it. To thoss who have not -- it is sweet. But to those who have -- it is the bitterest poisn, the vilest drug, the most abominable counterfeit of "glory."

True Glory is working towards a better world.

The older generations have lamented the fact that the new generations (in 2023) are too cynical and don't believe in mythos anymore. Perhaps the blessing of that precocious cynicism is that the Young will become too cynical to elect politicians who demand nationalistic power-grab invasions in the first place.

The Falklands truly was a moral tragedy, for the Brits and the Argentinians, who fought because of one grand delusion that invaded the lives of real people.

If we put as much effort into peace as we do into war --

What a World that would be...

The price of freedom 😢😢. I wish this kids would understand that. This days. Specially the young Generation. Because of this hero’s England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and USA 🇺🇸 we have freedom. 🙏🙏🙏

“ Hey Himmy (Jimmy)” I got a good chuckle out of that. He was pretty proud of that. Minute 27 18 seconds

Men with Lionhearts....bravest of the brave. Finest fighting men in the world. My thoughts are with the men who fell and with their families and their brothers in arms. Long live Britain.

As a Marine, this shows you how poor planning, which is no planning, does not work. Failing to plan is planning to fail. No excuse. I feel terrible about what happened because they were easy prey. The arrogant commander of the ship was a disgrace and disgusting idiot. He knew what could have occurred from past sinking of ships from the AAF. These officers were thinking more about their ranks rather than good information that would save them.

Como muito respeito aos bravos soldados argentinos,pois estavam sob o comando de um gal. ambicioso,e um presidente que só queria populismo. As Falk Lands pertencem a Inglaterra, assim como a Amazônia, pertence ao Brasil.

SANDY WOODWARD OUR MODERN DAY NELSON

As an ex Scots guardsman, we’re always proud of our part on mount tumbledown. Respect to the marines, paras, Gurkhas and welsh guards

Seen these great documentaries. But seen no mention of the Vulcan bombers. They had a big role in disabling the runway at Stanley.

Im i missing something isnt this THE GREAT BRITISH EMPIRE

Prince Andrew, Duke of York
Member of the British royal family what he do
`

The US should have helped Argentina.

Never have I been so proud to be British.

I always thought our fabulous British troops were fantastic and realising the shitty things that went wrong for them I now realise they realise they are the best ! I was 26 at the time…..and yes I would have gone if required ! So sad for the fabulous British troops that were lost !

Wonder how the millions of recent immigrants would handle themselves in this type of war situation ? !

I find the testimony at the end of “the argentines should have won, but they didn’t get their act together” kind of hollow. The more I learn, the more I realize the Brits never really had their act together as a command and won through no reason but the incredible bravery of their soldiers. It reminds me of the saying: ‘Lions led by donkeys.’ Having said that, I think the British vets have much to be proud of.

No hummer’s and tanks

Really enjoyed this documentary but large parts of the conflict got no mention, the battles for mount Harriet, mount Langdon and twin sisters got glossed over with one sentence and no mention of the part played by UK special forces.

My dad was 3 para Stephen mcdermott from Manchester passed out in 73

At 46mins 28 seconds... That's my mum and dad. My dad was the Buffer on HMS Invincible. I still remember standing on the jetty waiting for my dad. I also remember riding my bike down to Sallyport beach to wave my dad off to war. I was 11.

Proud of you all.

Malvinas

What was Argentina thinking? Just another power grab by humanity. At least they gave up but at what cost.

Losing your life to the ludicrousy incompetent Argentine army had to hurt.

The UK was only able to reinvade its colony due to US support.

Israel was correct to support Argentina.

6 months, working in Port Stanley, attached to British Army, year 2000

Skilled Battlefield surgeons are a must always remember this

No respect for Woodward

Long live the Homeland 🇦🇷 💪 💙 Malvinas are and will always be Argentine!!! Viva la Patria 🇦🇷 💪 💙 Malvinas Argentinas
