Evil Sid Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Why do they have to slug it out? They could do eenie meenie minie mo! they could but it would not be half as much fun.I for one would pay to see it. Just think off the ratings on the TV and how much money could be made from it. Also there is a possibility that by them doing the fighting they might think twice before sending their armed forces in to do it for them should anything like this come up again. (May also make some of them think twice about becoming politicians in the first place as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Unfortunately, as the world gets smaller, it's populations get bigger and natural resources more scarce; warfare will remain an option. And as more countries get their hands on nuclear missile capabilities, the consequences of war will become ever more terrible. As for the Falklands, IF the Argies had the capacity and moral fibre to invade again, and sieze the islands, we havn't the carriers or the aircraft to travel 8,000miles to take it back again!

observer Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Interesting odds involved in the Falklands conflict:- we had 20 Harrier jets v an Argie Airforce of over 200 aircraft, including French Mirage fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Well I know where there is at least one Harrier jet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Well I know where there is at least one Harrier jet. well that should be enough to sort out a fifth of the Argies air force!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
