    If I was armed and saw a gunman hold a kid at gunpoint and then he ran away I would definitely "take him out" who is to say he is not going to attack another day, Presumably you would let him off
    she changed the rules so she could legally sink that ship without being accused of war crime,
    any other country with the exception of america would face fierce criticism by the west and be accused of crime of war, one rule for the west another rule for them,

    So then let's say they were running away,what would you say then if they had survived and at some point killed British personnel?
    This should be good

    there was no reason for them to, they were in retreat, it was obvious the conflict was over,
    the point is the west insist there are rules of war, anything out of those rules is classed as a war crime, but its ok maggie could do whatever she wanted

    Ooops now your looking a bit out of depth on this,you do realize that the Belgrano was sank at the beggining of the war,so how could the conflict be over
    Suggest you do a bit of research,you do realise that we lost over 200 men and some falkland islanders were killed-did they ask to be?
    Blimey i hope we never have a conventional war you would be out serving the enemy Canapes!
    Also technically we were not offically at war!

    i know the dates , they had no chance, argentinian service men were hardly trained for war, seems it was over before it started, mmm technically we were not offically at war mmm so it couldnt be a war crime then after all, must have been mass murder

    Cheers Dedworth facts always help an arguament
    I just googled this and it seems a fair statement

    Regardless of controversies over the sinking, it had a crucial strategic effect: the elimination of the Argentine naval threat. After her loss, the entire Argentine fleet, with the exception of the conventional submarine ARA San Luis,[54] returned to port and did not leave again for the duration of hostilities. The two escorting destroyers and the battle group centred on the aircraft carrier ARA Veinticinco de Mayo both withdrew from the area, ending the direct threat to the British fleet that their pincer movement had represented.

    That says it all for me
