No I've never heard of Eugenics but I'll look it up! At no point Peter did I say that the Falklands was a triumph I merely pointed out that the majority of people though it was off the coast of Scotland. However, and for whatever reasoning, I believe that we absolutely should have sent the task force, regardless of where it is or how big/ small it was our sovereign terriroty and some one had the tenacity to invade it and hoist their own flag!! The diplomatic route should have ended the second an Argentine soldier set foot on the island. As for loss of life, yes.. regrettable, however I go back to the point that I have always made - the Armed Forces are voluntary and they are there to fight, thats what they did.. all who join know the risks and should, and the majority do, accept it!
