FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The report confirms Argentine soldiers were sent from the subtropics into
winter conditions without proper clothing, food or weapons, and were treated
as cannon fodder by their own officers – pushed into battle without having
had basic training in weaponry and combat.
“Troops weren’t adapted or equipped to handle the weather or the living
conditions,” and yet they had to face “a highly equipped and
trained enemy,” the report concluded.
“Military commanders encouraged the preconceived notion that there would
be no armed conflict, and that the situation would be resolved
diplomatically, which affected the morale of the forces and their readiness
for combat.”
The Argentine occupation began on April 2, 1982, and ended 74 days later with
British troops crushing the ill-prepared Argentines, at the cost of more
than 900 lives.
Tensions have increased between Buenos Aires and London ahead of the 30th
anniversary. Argentina says Britain has violated treaties and United Nations
resolutions by militarizing the South Atlantic. It has sought to isolate
Britain and the islands by barring trade, ships and planes from adjacent
Argentine territory, and has gained diplomatic support across Latin America.
Retired Colonel Augusto Rattenbach, whose father, General Benjamin Rattenbach,
co-authored the report, said releasing it is important for moral as well as
historical reasons.
War, he said, “is not the right way to solve these problems – diplomacy
is.”
