there was no reason for them to, they were in retreat, it was obvious the conflict was over,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?

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 murderOoops 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

Are you saying it acceptable for Argentina and its hardly trained but fully armed servicemen to invade another nations territory but another matter when they had to face the consequences ? Surely to avoid bloodshed the sensible way would have been for them to pack up and go home
who's territory is it realy, im sure its not theirs or ours
Ours no question whatsoever
It's ours. For the same reason as The Shetlands, Isle of Man & Jeresy are, or are we not allowed to control islands? Maybe we should just leave Anguilla, Ascension Islands, Bermuda, the British Antartic Territory, etc
If your argument is based on distance then all Western countries are invaders of Antarctica. Ulaniban Island is 718 miles from Manila, which is twice as far as the Falklands from Argentina so maybe they shouldn't have that.
Or if it is based on who landed on the island first, that was the British. No record of any Argies landing before us exists, nor does any evidence they ever lived on the island, so if they did land they decided it was a wasteland and went home and forgot about it. Our sovereignty goes back to 1690. Some Argies went to live on the island in the early 1800's but soon left, before that though the French had settled and left, and then the Spanish.... so both those countries have more right to the island than Argentina.

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
