So what's the story on the first picture and a helicoptor? Looks like something went through the ship?
ETA: Just read on Wikipedia that a bomb bounced UP through the ship, exited the helicopter deck, through the helicopter before finally harmlessly exploding. |

AWESOME... Love the FAL's and L1A1's
Argentina still bitches about that war. Kind of feel bad for the poor Argentine grunts left to fend for themselves after British sent the Argie Navy packing. |

Britain and Argentina both claim the Falklands/Malvinas as their own (though the British claim is the internationally recognized one). Every now and then, the Argentines get uppity about it. That time, they got REALLY uppity about it and invaded. |

The dagger on the flag's top corner represents the fact they inserted special forces as well (cloak and dagger) (Edit for link) |

Because political boundaries should be drawn up based solely on distance from a given capital. I take it the United States will be handing Texas over to Mexico immediately. After all, Mexico City is 935 miles away from Austin, where as DC is 1523 miles. Self determination? Who needs it? |

It's actually about 350 miles. When the British set up a colony on the Falklands, A) Argentina was not a country, B) No one was living on the Falkland Islands. So, no recognized country laid claim to the uninhabited island until after the UK established their colony, so I guess it's "finders keepers" |
